ive been taking 10mg of LEXAPRO for about 2yrs now BUT since i had my RNY 6 weeks ago - ive noticed that im becoming More Agitated and Anxious by the day... for about 2 weeks my Anxiety has been BAD... so for the past 2 days ive taken 10mg in the Morning and another 10mg at nite & i feel BETTER...   ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THAT THEY NEEDED TO UP THE DOSE ON LEXAPRO???

I don't take lexapro, but since surgery I have had my meds changed some. You need to speak to your PCP. If he/she needs to talk to your surgeon about that better yet. Please be careful about changing things without talking to a Doctor. Be careful, you didn't have surgery to hurt yourself with something else.

went to see my PCP today and he DID up my Lexapro to 20... he said that 10mg really IS a Low Dose... and My Anxiety will probably do Better with a little More... Thank You!!!

Iam off of 3 prescription meds since RNY. However, instead of 1/2 of a Mirapex for Restless Legs Syndrome I now need 3/4 of a pill. I believe that is because I don't "absorb" as well. It takes more to get the same result. Could be the same with your meds.
