I went off a daily 10mg dose of Lexapro 2 weeks ago in hopes of cleaning out my body for pregnancy and my period is WACKO! Granted, I took myself off Birth Control as well, so that could have something to do with it. I feel dizzy, nauseated, and my period keeps going away and coming back. I feel kind of high and sad at the same time, mixed with uncontrollable crying fits. Caffeine helps, alcohol does not.
How can you ease the side effects of withdrawal from lexapro
It sounds like your having an allergic reaction to Lexapro.
Xanax can be prescribed by your doctor alongside lexapro and taking them at the same time is okay. I am on Lexapro and take Xanex for occasional bouts of anxiety or panic attacks. However, weening yourself off Lexapro with Xanex is probably not the best idea. If you are having withdrawal from Lexapro you should probably go back on it.
after one 10mg lexapro can you have withdrawal? if so for how long..
Probably 'cause they don't want to get sued.
I have been on Lexapro for about a month now. My weight is ballooning. I want to come off of it before the withdrawal get to bad. Does the time you are on lexapro coincide with the amount of withdrawl problems? The problem is, I feel great taking the lexapro, but, can't handle the side effect
Simply put - anywhere from 8hours to 14 days.
I attempted to stop taking Lexapro a few months ago, after 6 days of the withdrawal symptoms I went right back on it. The symptoms stopped by the 2nd day and I felt like myself again. Lexapro works wonders with depression but wreaks havoc with it's discontinuation syndrom!
No, but it sometimes can take up to a year for withdrawal effects to go away.
I am not sure if its common - but ive been off lexapro for 4 days now - and its pretty much the only side effect i have - and its pretty constant.
The site below does mention a burning or tingling sensation as one of the withdrawal symptoms. But I would still ask a doctor if I were you.
Yes, I stopped taking Lexapro 6 days ago and I started feeling that way about 3 days later and it hasn't gotten better yet.
