SSRI Withdraw Experiences - HELP!

[GHR]

I am in week 3 of withdraw from Lexapro after an very long gradual withdraw.  I have had bad nausea, head aches most of the duration and recently dry/aching eyes.   I have a stressful job and it is very hard to make it through the day.  I am handling the stress alright, I just can't handle the bad nausea, head aches, and now dry/aching eyes.  The  dry/aching eyes make it difficult to read and drive.  I am living on Tylenol and Pepto-bismol.  Is this normal?  Has anyone experienced the dry/aching eyes? How long is this going to last?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Hi there,
I have been off lexapro for about a month now after coming down (what i thought was) slowly.  Maybe i was wrong!  I am still experiencing funky physical sensations like headaches, dizziness, trouble focusing, hot and cold flashes...
I have not had the dry eyes but have definitely noticed that I'm having to re-focus a lot!  I'm seeing another doctor tomorrow since a new GP I began seeing had absolutely no clue about withdrawal from these drugs and how to ease the symptoms...(yes, that was the first and last time I will see that idiot of a doctor).  Anyway, I'm hoping to get some answers as well.  I hope you are doing better now!  Would love to hear about your progress! hang in there!!
best,
kim

I have never been on any antidepressants really dont believe in them, but i do think that the drying achy eyes suck, is your vision blurry? try out accupuncture
