I've tapered off Lexapro very gradually. When I went from 20 mg to 10mg, I felt a bit "weird" for a day or so. 10 to 5 I was a bit irritable, 5 to 2.5mg was barely noticeable.

Stopping altogether has been the hardest, even with such a small dose. I had flu like symptoms and then a lot of dizziness that still won't go away after over two weeks. I used Klonipin on occassion to take off the edge. It's been over two weeks now and I feel better except for the strange dizziness.

Same as when you go on, you will probably experience lots of weird symptoms, so try to ride it out, but call your doc if anything is really bad. My doc says to go back on because of the dizziness, but I'm trying to just deal with it.
