In reply to Can lexapor be stopped abruptly, posted by Mandybella on December 18, 2003, at 9:48:13
> My dr said to stop 20mg of lexapro but he did not say if I should taper off and I cannot reach. Does anyone know if I can just stop it or if I wean. I have heard of horrible effects from stopping paxil abruptly and would like to know if this is the same. Thanks
DO NOT STOP COLD TURKEY!!! I have read many posts here on the subject and the side effects can be pretty bad if you stop suddenly, better to taper off gradually.
May I ask why are you supposed to stop?
Good luck and keep us posted!~~~8|8
