I was on 40 mg for 4 yrs, With my Doc blessing i went from 40 to 20 and 10 days later I have gone from 20 to 10. The 40 to 20 was 6 days of vertigo. But find myself more energetic and happier and more social. The 20 to 10 has been no problem and i plan on cutting back to 5 next week and then finally ridding myself of that dependent. It wasn't as severe as a withdrawal as what I was expecting. really no issue's

I have been on lexapro for about 2 years and havent had a period in 18 months. The doctors say it has nothing to do with the lexapro I started weaning off it about 3 weeks ago and now I'm spotting?

I have been on lexapro for almost 2 years and my periodshave been very irregular since then. Sometimes I go for 5-6 months without having one then I will have 2 in a row. Before being on lexapro my periods were very predictable I always knew exactly what day I was going to start, now I never know if I am going to or not and if I do how heavy it will be. I have also gained 30 pounds being on lexapro.


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.
