Hi,
I weaned off the Lexapro over a period of 1 month and followed the dr's orders: 30 mgs for one week, then 20 mgs for one week, 10 mgs and then 5 mgs. It wasn't so bad, though I did get a tingly feeling in my arms, felt sweaty and hot sometimes, and got a headache for 2 days. It could have been worse. If you stop cold turkey I'm sure it's much worse!
are u having any side affects coming off i was on lexapro for about a year just 20mg i had to come off becausei found out i was prego about 3 years ago it was horrible i never felt so bad . then after my son was born they put me on 75mg of effexor and .5 mg of ativan for a year then i lost insurance so i have been off for about 9 mnths did fine up until now . cant wait for my insurance though... but n e wayz its out of ur system about week.
That's a good question for your pharmacist.
