Accidental Double Dose Of Lexapro

I just mistakenly took a second daily dose of Lexapro, three hours after taking the first. Do I need to be concerned?

What dosage do you usually take?

Typically, doubling up just once with this class of medications doesn't cause any severe issues, but it really depends on the dosage and the person. The FDA warns that you may experience more nausea, dizziness, and drowsiness than usual.

Did you experience any adverse effects?
