In reply to lexapro withdrawl....help, posted by mardot on April 28, 2006, at 12:25:32
This message has "redirect to withdrawal board" written all over it, so before the Redirect Police strike, my suggestion: start taking the Lexapro again until you don't have the withdrawal feelings (I know, I know it feels like you're going the wrong way-I just had to do the same thing on benzo withdrawal) Try 10 mg and see if you feel better and then 15 or 20 if that doesn't work. This time, taper slowly, maybe 2 mg a week (just break the Lexapro into pieces and eyeball it)-if you have some 10's around, great, break then into 4th's or get a $3 pill cutter from the pharmacy and use that. Take your time-there's no hurry, and if you go slowly, no/less discomfort.
Best of luck!
