Lexapro Withdrawal

Lexapro Withdrawal

I have been tapering off of Lexapro...I was taking 10mg and have been taking 5mg for almost two weeks.  Has anyone ever mentioned severe anger and thoughts of suicide?  I'm normally a calm layed back person, but since tapering off...I am easily angered.  Moreover, I have never had thoughts of suicide.  I have to admit these come after having a couple of cocktails.  But I only have about two and feel like the world is coming to an end!  I cannot stop crying!  Will this go away?

yes it will go away eventually!
i came off citalopram just over a week ago although i am now taking prozac.  the withdrawal symptoms of citalopram were terrible, zaps electric shock feelings to head and face, dizziness, and ANGER!!! the anger is subsiding, but i feel its the worse symptom coz its so hard to deal with.  hang in there it will get better.
try some nux vom homeopathic remedy and some Impatiens bach flower remedy to try and help the anger.  i have been having these, also gonna try chamomilla homeopathic for anger.
