Lexapro Withdrawal

"I tapered off my lexapro over (a period of) 2 weeks and am now completely off.

"I was glad to read the side effects just now because I was very worried. I didn't know I was having lexapro withdrawal.

"I don't feel normal in my own body. I had forgotten to take the lexapro at one point for a couple of days and was wondering why I was feeling so weird.

"I took some more lexapro and I felt back to my normal self. Then I was scared because I thought it felt terrible being off it.

"So I eased my dosage down to nothing. But the withdrawal symptoms are still very much with me..."

Lexapro withdrawal symptoms

"I thought I might have some disease or something. When I read the withdrawal symptoms I was somewhat relieved in a sense that now I know what's wrong.

"It feels horrible...

• it is sort of an unreal feeling in my head and body.

• I feel dizzy and my brain feels like it's bloated.

• Noises louder than normal are extremely painful and bright light is very offensive.

• My face was actually red like a sun burn and bloated for over a week.

• I feel like I have a low tolerance for anything I have to concentrate on for very long; my brain actually feels tired.

• I feel exhausted and have had the chills, and hot like flashes.

"I am very determined to get beyond this and feel normal again. I just read your notes and was happy to find out I guess this is normal for withdrawl when you've been taking lexapro. I am glad to know this.

"Thank you.

"I can't wait for this to be over."
