Lexapro withdrawal

Posted by Spriggy on January 29, 2005, at 20:55:20

The psychiatrist recommended I wean off this Lexapro. She thinks I'm having a bad chemical reaction to it.

I was only 5 mg's to begin with. So I broke down to about 3 mg's for 4 days, then 2.5 for 3 days.

last night, I didn't take any at all.

So today, my pupils are dialated, I feel drugged, lethargic, and half way dizzy.

Is this a common reaction to discontinuing this stuff? even on such a small dose?

I don't know if it makes a difference but I tend to be extra sensitive to meds and am a small/petitie woman.

Maybe my body just doesn't handle chemicals well.
