Stopping meds

I have taken 10 X 10 mg Escitalopram (Lexapro) tabs over 10 days with no side effects but want to stop taking them.  Can I just not take any more or do I have to wean off ? After such a short time will it matter if I stop.

your body will thank you, then if you ever get down again try running or drawing or something you enjoy doing. call your best friend or mother and talk to them for 1 hour. it works. i have a little bit of moddiness when i stopped pharm drugs but it was worth it. i know most poeple on these doctor sites dont smoke dope, but if u cant sleep maybe one day(uo to you)try it. it knockes me right out when i cant sleep and mormally i wake up in the middle of the night screaming. or go to your doctor about this med(enzyme in turckey makes you sleeping)i think it triptophan but dont quote me. it helps you sleep i was on it and i loved it. take it one hour before you want to sleep and you'll be fine better dream then u can fall asleep naturally according to your schedule in no time
