I have been off Lexapro for about five months now. I had a few of the more documented side effects from stopping this drig. About 3 weeks after stopping back in March, I started getting hive attacks. My doctor was sympathetic and gave me an antihistamine perscription. I have to take it every couple of days or so to keep the attacks from coming back. I missed about a week of the antihistamine earlier this month. I woke up in the middle of the night with about half of my skin needing to be peeled off due to the hives and itching. I took the antihistamine and it went away in about an hour. I never experienced hives or any skin condition prior to the Lexapro that cause this kind of itching. I am convinced that there was some physiological or neurological damage induced by the drug.

Will using alcohol hand sanitizer eventually make your hands itchy permanently?
No. I have experince in dealing with itchiness from alohol hand sanitiziers. If you use them too often it can cause damage to your skin resulting in reduced effectiveness,uv sensitivity and redness and itching But Itching from reactions or chemicals is never permenant,there are anti-itch creams that can be purchased from chemists if itching lasts too long. In my opinion,as everyone says. Only use the sanitizer if you have no water source close,such as working on the road or if you are in high risk areas such as hospitals.

If one is having terrible Lexapro withdrawal can you go back on Lexapro and start the withdrawal process over?
I AM GOING THROUGH WHAT YOU EXPERIENCED. I DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU WROTE THIS. I AM 1 WEEK OF THE LEXAPRO AND GOING THROUGH PURE HELL. HOW LONG DID IT TAKE FOR IT TO GO AWAY ? PLEASE EMAIL ME AT GARY1RN@YAHOO.COMI'M AN RN.GARYThe question is not absolutely clear to me, but I will answer to the best of my understanding of said.If one is withdrawing from Lexapro,.. re-starting therapy , in most cases, will cease the withdrawal within a matter of days to (at most 1-2weeks).If you are adamant on discontinuing the drug ,.. but cannot tolerate the current withdrawal effects. Start back on the drug, stabilize yourself, and consult with your mental health professional about a sensible 'weaning' to lessen the withdrawal effects over time. Instead of going 'cold-turkey' -- try weaning off the drug over a matter of weeks, or months if deemed best. The eventual goal is to be the most comfortable while being non-dependent on the SSRI in the long run. If it takes a few months instead of a few days for this to occur -- Is that such a bad thing if you feel substantially better ?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I would like to say this to you, if you have over-come the 1st Lexapro withdrawl, I wouldn't suggest getting back on it, and having to deal with the withdrawl process again once you or you & your doctor decide to take you off it!I am currently going through the withdrawl process, and I have been slowly tapering off for 4 weeks and I am now on my 1st week of being Lexapro free, there are yet still some withdrawls to over-come, but I have made it through the worst and I would NOT recommend anyone take this pill, sure it helped but geez, coming off the pill is worse than what I had to endure before taking it in the 1st place, its just not worth it to me! I have had weight gain on it, loss of sex drive altogether, etc and withdrawls were horrid, electrical zaps in my brain & hands (which I currently still have) vomitting, the shakes, hot flashes, cold flashes, nausea, dizzy when standing & walking, like a fuzzy brain feeling, blurred vision, deep tremors in my hands, etc etc At one point I was so sick I thought I was going to have to go to the ER just to beg them for some finagrin and something for the horrible migraine I had!!!
