increasing to lexapro 10 mg?

i have taken 5 mg of lexapro for the last 10 days. last night i increased the dosage to 10 mg as instructed by my doctor. even though i had no side effects on 5 mg, today i am dizzy and nauseous. it is not terrible, but certainly uncomfortable. is this normal? how long will it last?

It's normal and should not last long at all. A few days at most. Just be careful driving, on stairs...........just be aware. Your body will adjust.

Call the doctor right away if you're uncomfortable. I don't think it's serious and it will probably go away, but your doctor needs to know about it. Good luck!
