HI i have been weaning myself off of the lexapro now for five days. Am experiencing withdrawal symtoms as well.( nausea, dizziness, crying some, aches, pains, feeling very tired, flu like symptoms, and ringing in the ear..etc) I was on 10 mg. for 2and a half to 3 years and its just started giving me very bad side effects about 4 weeks ago. I went to the hospitals, after hospitals didnt know what was wrong with me..i was sick as a dog! Had very bad stomache problems, headaches, sinus problems. infections after infections..and what got me the most was the fast heartrate(125 bpm) and the rise in the blood pressure, shakes, anxiety, panic attacks..sweating, etc. Take ativan or zanax to help with the side effects.. thats what i am doing and it does help some. CIndy
