How to get off Lexapro
"Hellish. One of the worst experiences of my life. The withdrawl is horrendous. That said, taking myself off those little bastards was the best decision I ever made and I'll never go back on anti-depression meds ever again."
How I did it: I tapered (half dose, quarter dose, eighth dose) and by the last week I was on crumbs, but I had to keep some of it in my system before I went off completely because the withdrawl symptoms were so bad.
Lessons & tips: Don't go cold turkey! Drink lots of water and try to eat really well. Be nice to yourself and BE PATIENT.
