It is not recommended to stop Lexapro cold turkey. Everyone's withdrawal period is different, and the amount of time it takes to be fully off the drug depends on many factors.

I am currently in the process of trying to get off Lexapro after 9 months of use. I have been trying to tamper off for the last 2 months...and still trying. While on Lexapro, I would sometimes go 2 or 3 days without taking one before experiencing any side effects.
I took Lexapro for 4 weeks and have been experiencing the withdrawal symptoms. I have been off this med for 6 days now and feel lightheaded, nausea, dizziness and having headaches. I sure hope this doesn't last too much longer.
i have some cough syrup with codein from last year. is ok to take it
A headache related to nicotine withdrawal will usually last up to 48 hours.
It could take a few weeks to kick your habit. But if you have help like suboxone the first couple days are brutal but you will live, suboxone makes the detox process easier to deal with. Contact a local doctor that can set you up with a suboxone program, doing detox without any help is very hard to do and pretty painful.
Hi! Yes, I have broken out in a rash. I am 12 days off my Lexapro and so far not having Hugh withdrawal symptoms. I have an occasional dizzy spell or brain zap, but nothing too overwhelming. Last night I noticed I had a rash all over my torso. It's a little itchy and sore. I've applied some hydrocordisone cream and it seems to help a little. How long does it last, do you know?

Yes, SSRI's have a host of side effects that can present themselves at anytime and even at low dosages. A person has to decide if the side effects are worth the benefit they get from the drug. Sometimes the a person will experience no side effects, others will experience side effects that go away after the body adjusts, and yet others have to discontinue because the side effects become to much of a bother. Most withdrawal symptoms from Lexapro go away within 2 to 12 days after discontinuation. There are exceptions where they can last a little longer.
the duration of withdrawal is dependent on the drug taken. For some, withdrawal can last for more than a year (mostly involving hallucinogens)
