Changing lexapro dosage

    Hi there, I have been taking 10 mgs of lexapro for approx 2.5 years with much success. I am about to start a new job in a few weeks and have a few other stressors coming up so I spoke to my gp and we decided I should go up to 15mg dosage in preparation for my increased anxiety. The first week I felt great. Then I had a wedding and forgot to take it for about 4 days. I have gone back on it in the last 4 days but I feel worse than ever. Feeling quite panicky and despondent. Feeling really sleepy but end up waking up at 4 am every night in a panic mode. Is this normal after upping the dosage to 15 mg, Is it a reaction to the fact that I missed 4 days? When can I expect to feel normal again? Any thoughts or advice greatly appreciated??
