You're experiencing withdrawal. You might try weening yourself off it instead of stopping abruptly. If your dosage was too high it could easily have caused problems. How long you'll feel the effects is hard to say. It depends how long you were on it. It's also fat-soluble and can remain in your brain tissues long after it's out of your bloodstream. Kinda like LSD.

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.
Is it safe to take zanax to help with withdrawal from Lexapro?
Xanax can be prescribed by your doctor alongside lexapro and taking them at the same time is okay. I am on Lexapro and take Xanex for occasional bouts of anxiety or panic attacks. However, weening yourself off Lexapro with Xanex is probably not the best idea. If you are having withdrawal from Lexapro you should probably go back on it.

How long after the expiration date is Lexapro effective?
Once a medication expires, there is no guarantee of potency of that medication. The manufacturer has set the expiration date listed because they have determined that the medication will not have biologically degraded (if stored properly) prior to that date. After that, it is likely that the drug will begin to naturally break down. Degredation rate will likely be increased if stored for any period of time in warm, light, and/or wet environments. It is best to talk to a physican about getting a new prescription for your medication or having another medication prescribed if finances are an issue. Conditions such as anxiety/depression will be inadequately treated if your medication has not maintained its potency, and this could lead to very undesirable side effects for you.
Can Lexapro withdrawal cause irritability?
Oh, yeah, I am having it. I am even throwing things and having what I describe as an 'adult temper tantrum'. This is almost like the week before I start. I wish it would hurry up and go away - I am into week 4 of being lexapro-free.
