I have tapered off Lexapro with no side effects except my depression came back! I felt terrible. I returned to taking 20mg cut in half 2x a day. I am 51 & my sideffects havebeen flu like symptoms, terrible GI up set, and rheumatoid type joint pain! I lost 25lbs. Not sure if that's the cause. Any one else with severe joint pain & GI problems?

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.
