• Is it okay that my boyfriend just stopped taking Lexapro without weaning himself off them?
|
He has been on Lexapro for anxiety since October, not sure how strong his pills were but he said he upped the dosage about 3 months ago. He ran out of them on Monday or Tuesday and he couldn't get a new prescription that day. He hasn't taken it for a few days because he hates the way they make him feel, is it alright that he just quit without asking a doctor or anything? He's going through withdrawal, he's dizzy, nauseous, tired, and his stomach feels weird.

• Weight gain immediately AFTER weaning off Lexapro?
|
I weaned off Lexapro over the span of about four weeks (this was according to my doctor's directions). I stopped taking the Lexapro altogether two weeks ago. As soon as I stopped it completely, I started feeling "fat" and noticed I had gained about 10lbs. (with, of course, a little more belly :-( Is it possible that the weight gain resulted from stopping the Lexapro, or did I just put on weight over the holidays?

• LEXAPRO WEANING DURING PREGNANCY?
|
I recently found out that I am pregnant with my 3rd child and have been taking lexapro for 4 years. Since I've found out that I'm expecting, my anxiety level has been through the roof. I can't leave the house, can't stop crying, racing heart, etc. I spoke with my doctor today and she informed me that I can't be on lexapro during pregnancy and that I need to start weaning so she can put me on something that's safer. I guess I'm just looking for some positive words from people who've had this experience because I'm really scared. How bad are the withdrawls going to be? How much harm can this do to the baby? Any words of wisdom?

•Voting Question: I am weaning off of Lexapro...side effects?
|
I have been taking 10 mg of Lexapro since September 2009. I have now decided to wean off of it and my doctor is having me take 5 mg for a week, 5 mg every other day for a week and then stop. I have been reading the side effects of stopping Lexapro and it's kind of freaking me out. Dizziness, brain "zapping" and upset stomach? Should I expect these or any symptoms with my weaning plan?

•Voting Question: I'm in the process of weaning off Lexapro & could use some advice...?
|
I was on Lexapro for 1.5 years for depression. Feeling so much better I talked it over with my doctor and we decided I'm ready to start weaning off. I was on 10mg but my daily dosage was reduced to 5mg. I've been taking the reduced dosage for 7 days . Over the past couple of days I've noticed irrational paranoid thoughts & starting today , anxiety, jitteriness & restlessness. Depression-wise, I'm doing ok, no signs of relapse. I'm going to chat with my doctor tomorrow but in the meantime, can anyone tell me if they've experienced similar effects?
Thanks

• Weaning or getting off Lexapro?
|
When your psychiatrist decides to get you off Lexapro for example do they wean you off it. Do you get sick when getting off Lexapro? Is it difficult to get off such medications as Lexapro?
Is there so much dependency that you have trouble after you're off it.

•Voting Question: Weaning off lexapro and need some input?
|
My doctor wants to wean me off lexapro and start me on something else. I've been on lexapro for 5 years now to treat my severe panic attacks. And for the last year now I just haven't felt great and she thinks its not working anymore. I know that it will be a very slow process to try avoiding withdrawl but I am still petrified. I've heard that lexapro is the hardest to wean from and the withdrawls are horrible. I would like to hear from someone who's been taken off lexapro and their experience. Honesty PLEASE!
