methadone/lexapro withdrawal
I'm a pain patient. I broke my neck some years ago so sustained nerve damage although I am still mobile. I have been on Fentenyl, Oxycontin and now Methadone. I am taking myself off Methadone, with my doctor's knowledge and have been told that my lexapro is a dangerous mix with methadone as well. I stopped titrating down off methadone and now am at 30mgs per day but I am now titrating down my lexapro dose. I'm finding that both drugs are hell to detox from!
Has anyone come off Lexapro or an SSRI? I'm so miserable with side effects but determined to get off this medication! Can anyone advise me as to ways to make this easier? I am on 20mgs and have dropped 2.5 successfully this far. I am going to drop my dose another 2.5 soon which will put me at 15mgs daily. I'm told that 10mgs would be a bit safer? Thank you in advance!
