It normally takes lexapro 5 to 7 days to leave your system. Once that happens is when you may have side effects. If you do get side effects they can last for quite some time. You are normally soposed to wean of the medication under the care of your physician or psychiatrist. Consult with either if you start to feel troublesome side effects or are experiencing them now.

I have been taking 20 Mg lexapro for 3 months and stopped cold-turkey what are the side effects?
I have been on 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.
