How long will it take for the electrical shock sensations in your head to stop now that you are off Lexapro if you tapered off very slowly and have been Lexapro-free for 5 days now?

Everyone reacts differently to stopping the SSRIs (anti-depressants such as Lexapro). Some people take an even longer taper than you are mentioning and are sensitive enough to the medication that a taper needs to mean taking it once every 7 days, then 8 days, and so on. As an anecdote, I knew one person who could tell she hadn't had it 20 days later, so a taper lasted 6 months. Make sure to discuss the side effects you are experiencing with your phsyician and consider a longer taper if the symptoms are limiting your enjoyment of life. Hope this helps! Dr. B. This may not be reassuring, but I have been coming off Lexapro very slowly for 4 weeks and for the last 2 weeks I have had the horrible "zaps" and not only in my head but in my hands too!!! I have only been lexapro free for about 4 days now, and I still have them, even with the slow taper!!!!

Off lexapro month by weaning offfeeling anxious againis this a withdrawal stmptomor is it normal to feel like this?
Dropping antidepressants/anti-anxiety meds cold turkey without tapering down your last dosages can cause you to go into a deep state of depression/anxiety. If you tapered down as recommended, then you should go see a doctor about putting you on something else. If you were on Lexapro before, then why did you stop? Antidepressants or anti-anxiety meds don't cure you. They help you.
