lexapro

I have been taking Lexapro for about a year because I have Hypo thyroid.  My doctor wanted to take me off and I cant stand the twinges after being off for a few days.  My head feels like it is being rattled off my head.  They come about every 5 minutes and all I can describe it as is a little seizure.  They get so bad that I take my medicine so they will go away.  How can i stop these?  Will they go away?

Hi,
I am hypothyroid also.  I have been on Lexapro for about 3 years.  I love it!  You are supposed to take it once a day, everyday.  That is what i was told by my doctor.  If you stop taking those abruptly, you will experience brain zaps,as others on this site have called them.  Anytime you are on a med for along period of time and/or taking one daily, you need to discuss it with your doctor before getting off of it.  I just wanted to let you know what I have heard and experienced.
