Hello, I am taking 30 mg a day of Escilitopram and while I think it helps take off the edge, when I have very rough days, I take double my dosage. The bad thing about that is, then I run out of my 30 day supply early.

I would like to up my dosage, but my doctor is unwilling.

Does anyone take higher than 30 mg a day?

I cannot speak to that, but maybe the medication is not working as well as it should for you and you could speak to your doctor about changing to other medication. I had switched to SNRI and it seemed to help!
