Day 3, no lexapro or anything, tingling in arms, head feels fuzzy and dizzy.. How long will these side effects last?! I am frustrated!
I TOO STOPPED TAKING LEXAPRO AND HAD THE SAME ISSUES. I WANTED TO START TAKING IT AGAIN JUST SO I FELT BETTER.
BUT I DRANK LOTS OF WATER AND STARTED TAKING GOOD VITAMNS AND B-12 DOTS.
I FEEL GREAT NOW! NOT TO MENTION THE LARGE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT I GAINED WHILE TAKING LEXAPRO. THAT IS NOW MELTING OFF.

Did you taper your medication slowly? Very important, as I didn't taper slowly enough and it has caused major problems.
I just found out that you should taper by 5% each week! I didn't and have been having tingling, anxiety, agitation, etc.
Since you JUST stopped, you can re-start at the last dosage and taper much more slowly to prevent withdrawal issues.
I couldn't do that as I didn't know what was wrong with me until I had been off meds. TWO WEEKS, then it didn't make sense to recontinue and taper more gradually. Good luck! Try Omega 3 and alot of B vitamins to help.
