Hello ladies and gents! I suppose the title is pretty self-explanatory, but It's what I've been curious about lately.

I will admit sometimes I have missed a dose of Lexapro and will take twice my normal dose the next day just to keep up. I know how bad that sounds, and I've stopped doing it... but getting an answer would seriously help my anxiety.

I'm on 30mgs a day, and is it possible to overdose at around 100mgs?

Ugh, i am onlly taking 10 mg; perhaps i should up my dosage... with that being said, if you miss a dosage one day, I do not think you can make it up by double dosing the following day. Lexapro takes awhile to get into your system and takes awhile to leave your system so missing one day is not going to kill you and no, i do not think a 100mg will kill you either unless it made you kill yourself, but thats a different story
