In reply to Lexapro Withdrawl, posted by BarbaraS on March 31, 2003, at 9:06:21
I took Lexapro for 7 or 8 months, 20 mgs. a day. I too am quitting (because of weight gain). I did not quit cold turkey. I wouldn't recommend that. I went for 1 week with halfing my dosage, then stopped all together. So I haven't had any for 4 days now. I have suffered with sweating, nausea, itching and just plain being more ill than normal. It's kind of tuff. Maybe you should taper off. Good luck!
