In reply to Is it okay to just stop taking Lexapro?, posted by CarrieL on June 16, 2003, at 21:48:15
> I was prescribed 10 mg's a day for sleeplessness (due to anxiety). I liked it at first, but am now considering getting off of it... as the side effects may not be worth it. Anyone know if its okay to just stop taking it? If so, I have 30 pills for sale, cheap. lol.
NO, I would not advise "cold turkey" either, SE's!!!
One question, though, how long have you been taking it? If the answer is 3 weeks or less, the SE's you are experiencing WILL GO AWAY. Many people on this board have found that once you get through the first couple of weeks, things get much easier, and many have had GOOD results, myself included, with fight w/depression.
Best of luck to you~~~8|8
