I am now going to start taking 5 mg of Lexparo instead of 10mg I've been taking the last 3 months.
Has anyone gone from 10mg down to 5mg?Did you feel different?
Did the depression come back/get worse?
Any experience/feedback would be very nice.
Thanks.

My doctor thinks it is increasing my Prolactin levels, my depression is lifting, and I'm making steps in therapy through talking, feeling, and healing.
I'll see what happens...

I think that you should initially go to 7.5 mg instead of 5. See how that goes for a couple of weeks first. The pills can be cut into fourths using a razor knife (or a pill cutter but I prefer the knife).

Uh, if you are making progress (especially given how hard of time you seem to have had in the past), that just does not seem like the time for a dosage decrease (my $.02).

I hear you. I've got some calls to make to my docs, but first I need sleep.
