It's been about 2.5 weeks and the weird dizziness is becoming less frequent, but still bothersome. I don't know it it's a brain zap...I've had the zaps through my body but that was just a few times in the beginning. I'm now feeling the mental/emotional side effects but I'm determined not to go back on. I should add that I take Wellbutrin 150 XL once a day.

It's become less frequent now that it's going on 3 weeks off Lexapro. I did notice it happening more frequently last night when I had a beer with a friend. She wondered if maybe it was the affect of the Wellbutrin and maybe the Lexapro somehow counteracted it. Either way, I hope it goes away and it's good to know someone else knows what I'm talking about!
