If you stopped taking Lexapro about 2 months ago and are feeling worthless and restless and have awful mood swings should you go back on Lexapro?

Did you stop this medication with your doctor's suggestion or on your own? I would recommend that you see a psychiatrist/physician before deciding what to do. It is possible that your body took 2 months to totally get rid of the effects of Lexapro and you are feeling the symptoms again that initiated the start of the med. If it were me or someone I know, I would strongly suggest starting back on a medication or to talk to a counselor/psychologist.

Has anyone had trouble with their gallbladder because you took Lexapro?
I did and ended it with having my gallbladder removed and weaning off Lexapro in one week. My first problems with my gallbladder arose a couple of months into taking Lexapro for the first time years before. I stopped and then I had a pregnancy and about 5 year with no lexapro. When I had a traumatic family sitiuation I tried Lexapro again and again a couple of months into it I started to have gallbladder attacks. I took one lexapro after my surgery and it made me so sick I have vowed to never touch it again. It sucked because it really did great for my anxiety.

Will restarting Lexapro after 7-10 days without it stop the withdrawal symptoms and if so when?
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!
Your husband was on Lexapro for 2 months stopped cold turkey he is easily irritated angered unreasonable and started drinking daily Can quiting Lexapro be affecting him that bad signed Worried?
I have been on 20mg Lexapro for over 3 years and stopped cold turkey. I have the 'head sparks' and have had them for 3 weeks now. It has definitely interfered with concentration which causes agitation and irritability. I have also not had one night without seriously bizarre dreams that last the entire night. Whatever it takes, it can't last forever and can't say Lexapro did anything for me but cause serious weight gain. It's easier to deal with life than to mask it with medication; I recommend getting involved in self help books.
