Do I need to ween myself off Lexapro or can I just stop taking it?
Question:
Answers:
You want to ween yourself off over a period of a week, don't listen to the girl whos been in clinical trials. Stopping cold turkey can really mess you up and if you taking it for depression the last thing you need is that.
Do consult you physican for an alternative. Explain to him/her why you want off it what you can take in it's place. Good luck.
u.Talk to your dr.But if you Must.Yea,take half the dosage and do it that way.
Just get off of it. The withdrawals are pretty bad but not as bad as you might think.
i just stop taking it and nothing really happened to me. i heard that you can shake and stuff like that but i didn't. how many mg are you taking?
You should be okay if you stopped it cold turkey after 2 days. I'm more worried about feeling like you are going to lose your mind. If that is the case, get yourself to an ER ASAP!

You must call your doctor immediately. You are expriencing a very undesireable side-effect. Your doctor can tell you how to proceed.
