New dosage

I've been taking escitalopram (Lexapro) for a good three months now. My anxiety is pretty spotty now and not nearly as constant as it was before, but I decided to increase the dosage a bit to take care of the residual anxiety, hopefully. I'm taking 5 mg right now and increased it to 10 mg, and while writing the perscription my doctor said that it was probably the highest I should go with the medicine because of my size.

That of course sent my anxiety into a bit of a spiral, I started wondering if it was going to kill me or something. I never had any side effects with Lexapro but I can't help but wonder. I'm 149 cm tall and weigh about 35 kg, what do you guys think? Am I gonna die on the first pill like my anxiety is telling me?

no you will not die. give this medicine time. 10 mg is still a low dose even for your size. i am on 100 mg of sertraline and have not died. my mother is the same size as you and is on high doses of mitrazapine and is fine. if you get side efects try not to panic as they will not last forever its your bodies way getting used to the medicine. i thought the same when i started my meds. but trust me you will not die off this pill. if you are that worried about it seek reasurence of a different doctor. im sure you will be fine on this low dose

I weigh 75kg and I take 10mg. My dr said more is not necessarily the answer.
