Oh, yeah, I am having it. I am even throwing things and having what I describe as an 'adult temper tantrum'. This is almost like the week before I start. I wish it would hurry up and go away - I am into week 4 of being lexapro-free.
I am currently going through lexapro withdrawals and I have been very bitter and angry. Some of it has to do with the reason I was taking the Lexapro in the first place, but I think most of it is the actual withdrawals.
You should talk with your doctor if the anger gets really bad or persists.
Yes. I am experiencing it right now as I'm weaning off of my lexapro.

It sounds like your having an allergic reaction to Lexapro.
Probably 'cause they don't want to get sued.
No, but it sometimes can take up to a year for withdrawal effects to go away.
there is no physical withdrawal, but there is mental one that can cause irritability ad difficulty sleeping.
How can you ease the side effects of withdrawal from lexapro
Caffeine is a drug. It affects the central nervous system. It is a stimulant drug and does cause withdrawal symptoms such as headache and agitation & irritability.
Xanax can be prescribed by your doctor alongside lexapro and taking them at the same time is okay. I am on Lexapro and take Xanex for occasional bouts of anxiety or panic attacks. However, weening yourself off Lexapro with Xanex is probably not the best idea. If you are having withdrawal from Lexapro you should probably go back on it.
after one 10mg lexapro can you have withdrawal? if so for how long..
Lexapro cannot cause eye infections. Like any medication, lexapro may cause puffy eyelids, but it is unlikely to do so.
I have been on Lexapro for about a month now. My weight is ballooning. I want to come off of it before the withdrawal get to bad. Does the time you are on lexapro coincide with the amount of withdrawl problems? The problem is, I feel great taking the lexapro, but, can't handle the side effect
Simply put - anywhere from 8hours to 14 days.
I attempted to stop taking Lexapro a few months ago, after 6 days of the withdrawal symptoms I went right back on it. The symptoms stopped by the 2nd day and I felt like myself again. Lexapro works wonders with depression but wreaks havoc with it's discontinuation syndrom!
