Note on the above: Well, then how do you expect people to come off it? It's WAY better to wean off it then just stop it. Those are the exact words my doctor gave me, so putting them in quotes and telling someone never to do it, is stupid. ESPECIALLY if it's doctor directed it's absolutely FINE to wean off of it, in fact, it's the only way you want to come off of any antidepressants. And doctors don't always give clear directions. Despite asking for clarification my doctors directions for weaning off were quite vague, so I imagine it isn't all that specific or dangerous a process, or he'd be asking for a malpractice suit.

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.

Do you have to wean off lexapro or can you just stop taking it - i am on 20 mg. a day?
It's generally recommended to wean off Lexapro (escitalopram) rather than stopping it abruptly, as doing so can lead to withdrawal symptoms or a return of anxiety or depression. Tapering the dosage gradually under a doctor's supervision can help minimize these risks. Always consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.

Will you have withdrawal symptoms from lexapro 5 mg to 2.5 mg and any after the 2.5 Only on Lexapro for 3 months?
Everyone reacts differently from withdrawal or addition of medications, therefore I am unable to answer your question black and white. However, if you were on Lexapro 5mg by the mouth once per day for three months and now, as per your Doctors instructions are reducing it to 2.5mg and then discontinuing the medication you will most likely have no withdrawal symptoms or side effects.
