How long do you have blurred vision when on or taking Lexapro?

I have been on it for a year now and noticed after a couple of months that my glasses were no longer effective. (They were new glasses though). Am not slowly weaning myself off Lexapro and blurred vision is worse - much worse! I have been on it for a year now and noticed after a couple of months that my glasses were no longer effective.

Everything gets worse before it gets better?

Not mandatory !


If you have missed 4 doses of Lexapro--should you just start taking them again or quit?

You should take your next dose as soon as possible. If you have been on Lexapro for a long period of time then the withdrawl effects can be unpleasant, as in causeing anxiety and/or depression in a way worse than before. If you do not like lexapro you should notify your doctor and come off of it slowly.


What happens if you completely stop taking Lexapro overnight?

I wouldn't do that if I were you. You need to wean yourself off of Lexapro slowly and even then you are going to get some withdrawl symptoms, including dizziness and nausea. That's what happened to me when I went off Lexapro over a two week period. From what I understand the withdrawl can sometimes be worse than what I had. I would consult with your doctor and come up with a plan for you to get off. If you need to go back on something I would stay away from Lexapro - I have been on several antidepressants and that was the worse one to stop!

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
