In reply to stopping lexapro, posted by lisa swede on April 1, 2004, at 9:28:45
I was on lexapro for about 3 months and had to stop because of severe headaches. I was on 10 mg. per day. My doctor told me to take 10 mg. every other day for a few days and then stop altogether. I had serious withdrawl symptoms at the beginning, severe dizziness, feeling like I was walking on air half of the day, just completely out of it. I was really scared! It has been about 3 weeks now since I have been off it, and I am FINALLY feeling pretty much back to normal...I am so happy to be back to my old self! Hang in there, it will get better, just give it time and let it run its course!
