Hi Everyone,
I wanted to share my withdrawal experience with all of you that have tried Lexapro. I have mild depression and have used many anti-depressants and this by far has been the worst one for me. I have been on it for about 3 months and realized that I did not laugh anymore. Nothing was funny and although I wasn't depressed, I sure didn't feel happy either. I have quit cold turkey on meds before and NEVER had withdrawal from any of them. This one has caused the dizziness and made me feel sick to my stomach and I am sooooo verrrry tired all the time! My sense of humor is coming back, but still after being off Lexapro for 3 weeks now, the withdrawal symptoms have made me feel so very bad. I also have gained about 10 pounds while on it. I was only on 10 mg's a day, and this by far has be the worst pill for me. I see my DR today and I don't know if I will be able to go back on anything else, because this had truly scared me. I think I would rather be depressed than feel like this. For those of you who have had success, I am happy for you. God Bless Everyone.
