All I can say is take it SLOW. I wigged out on Lexapro (it caused akathasia in me) so my dr. told me to stop it. She failed to tell me HOW to stop the meds.
I weaned off in 3 days and then went off cold turkey.
I then spent the next 2 weeks in complete and utter HELL.. crying spells (no... more like WEEPING spells), hallucinations, suicidal thoughts, depersonalization, etc..
I ended up in the psych ward for 4 days because of this stupid drug.
Be careful. Take it slow. Otherwise your central nervous system will think it's a 5 year old at Chuck E Cheese.
