In reply to Lexapro Withdrawal Dizziness/Tingling/Numbness?!, posted by CR on January 8, 2004, at 16:16:47
> I discontinued Lexapro (10mg/day) cold turkey about 2 weeks ago. STILL getting severe dizziness in the left hemisphere in my brain with tingling and numbness of my extremeites. Is this normal for these syptoms to continue for so long? They are not decreasign in intensity at all. Anyone else have experience wtih this?
> Thanks!
> CRYOU KNOW YOU CAN GET SEIZURES STOPPING THESE MEDS COLD TURKEY. I would guess your past that stage. Its one hell of a shock to your body when you give it something and take it away all at once. This stuff can go for a month or even a few months. It varies person to person and on what you read. Some get zero withdrawal. Slow tapering off is the best way to go.
