Do not stop Lexapro without first talking to your healthcare provider. Stopping Lexapro too quickly may cause serious symptoms including: anxiety, irritability, high or low mood, feeling restless or changes in sleep habits headache, sweating, nausea, dizziness electric shock-like sensations, shaking and confusion
Tell your doctor you want to stop taking it and do what they tell you to do. Stopping the wrong way can lead to significant withdrawal symptoms. I speak from experience, it's not a pleasant experience.
Withdrawal symptoms from Lexapro (escitalopram) can begin within a few days after stopping the medication, typically around 1 to 3 days after cessation. However, the onset and severity can vary depending on factors such as the dosage and duration of use. Common symptoms may include dizziness, irritability, nausea, and flu-like symptoms. It's important to consult a healthcare professional before discontinuing the medication to manage potential withdrawal effects safely.
Lexapro is not a narcotic, it is an SSRI antidepressant. Like a narcotic though, you should not just stop taking Lexapro suddenly if you have been taking it for a while.
I wouldn't do that if I were you. You need to wean yourself off of Lexapro slowly and even then you are going to get some withdrawl symptoms, including dizziness and nausea. That's what happened to me when I went off Lexapro over a two week period. From what I understand the withdrawl can sometimes be worse than what I had. I would consult with your doctor and come up with a plan for you to get off. If you need to go back on something I would stay away from Lexapro - I have been on several antidepressants and that was the worse one to stop!
it doesnt work like that sweetie, to "stop" anorexia, you need sometimes years of therapy and in-patient treatment. It doesnt just stop.
