Lisa, I don't see any information here re how long the withdrawal, how much you were on, and how long did you take to get off the lexapro. If you did it slowly over a three week period as I have described before, you should not be having any or very few zaps...if not, then it could take weeks.
It definitely is not a fun experience. It will get better, day by day. Be patient and know things will get better. Do your best to keep stresses to a minimum, sleep as well as you can, exercise if you can.
