Hi Mildred!
> Does anyone know if withdrawal symptoms (from Lexapro) are likely to last more than 3 weeks?
Yes they might do that.
>pdoc (I'm guessing that means psychiatrist????)
Yes it does :-)
Still feeling nauseated, headachy, and miserable. Saw the doc on Fri and we are thinking now that the continuing symptoms may more likely be symptoms of my depression rearing its ugly head again. I am currently on Wellbutrin XL also - was on 30 mg while I was on the Lexapro. Just increased it to 45 mg as of Saturday (5 days ago) - so far I'm still feeling lousy. I understand that it may take a couple of weeks to feel the effects if there will be any. It's just hard to wait.
Sorry to hear that. How did Lexapro treat you? Did you get relief? Side effects?

norepinephrine

> Any educated guesses out there would be greatly appreciated -Why does he want to change to cymbalta? Wasn't the response from lexapro sufficient?
Kind regards,
