Yes, it can. You should not quit taking mental health drugs without the advice of a physician and cutting back slowly. Going off them cold turkey can cause serious side effects.

You must be weaned off over a few weeks time. One side affect of stopping suddenly is a complete loss of balance and a funny fuzzy sound that buzzes through your head at the same time of the imbalance.And remember always involve your Dr. and take their advise.


What is this swishing noise when you turn your head and vertigo when you stpped taking lexapro?

I think what you're describing is a "brain zap" which is an electric shock dizzy sensation. It's a common withdrawal symptom from discontinuing antidepressants. Best of luck getting off these drugs--I'm trying to come off Lexapro myself in order to save money.

We cannot answer that, except to say that it is more likely that the Lexapro triggered an existing condition than that it caused it. We suggest discussing this issue with a mental health professional.

See your doctor or psychiatrist - you should taper down if at all possible. Don't go cold turkey! I have also seen doctors who will give a very very small doss of Prozac to help ween a person off Lexapro more comfortably.

Average withdrawal time from Lexapro?

Not sure on the exact amount of time it takes to withdraw from Lexapro, but it sounds like it could take anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months or more depending on how your body responds to the withdrawal. My own experience to date is as follows: After taking first 10 mg of Lexapro for 1 1/2 years, my dosage was increased to 20 mg. Now that I have been on the new dosage for almost 1 1/2 years, I have decided it is time to see if I can cope without taking Lexapro any more. I began weaning myself off with the advice of my doctor. I began by decreasing my dosage from 20 mg to 10 mg daily. After 10 days, I stopped taking lexapro all together (under by Dr.'s advice) and the result was many withdrawal symptoms such as: headache, burning stomach pain, dizziness, fatigue and acid reflux. The headache doesn't respond to Tylenol or advil and sleep is the only way to improve the headache, which isn't possible during the work day. The dizziness is the most irritating symptom and the one that concerns me the most since I have been known to faint when I get dizzy. After doing research on the web, I discovered that taking a multi-vitamin may help with the withdrawal symptoms. I am not sure if it will work or not, but it is worth a try. Also, I have read that sometimes you have to wean yourself more slowly and for a longer period of time. I have a call to my dr. to see if I need to start taking smaller doses of lexapro before weaning myself all together.
