Therapeutic dose

This past semester may have been unnecessarily hard for me. I don't think I have yet reached the therapeutic dose with Lexapro, since it has been a lot easier to have panic attacks. Things that used to bother me but didn't phase me while on Paxil have been bothering me again. Not sure why I didn't try upping my dosage until now when my anxiety threshold is even less. Managed to pass my courses with B's despite oftentimes white knuckling it and being unable to think straight. I'm done with classes for my MA program but still have my thesis to get through. I will also be teaching a section of Linguistics 101 in the spring so I really need to get my act together. I've upped my Lexapro dosage to 15 although my prescriber will not be back from vacation until Tuesday. I seem to already feel a little better though that may just be psychosomatic since it is probably too soon to tell. Upside is that I have been losing the Paxil weight, enough so that people are noticing and telling me.
