Thank you for your replies..
I spent 4 days tapering down ( I was on a low dose to begin with) and then decided last night to just stop it cold turkey.
I slept like a baby (minus the wetting myself thing, ha), but have been a bit "dizzy and almost drugged" today.
It seems like I am feeling some relief from the extreme weird head feeling that I felt ALL the time on the Lexapro. I still have it, but it's not as severe. I think I'm learning to just pray through those moments and just trust God to get me through this.
I believe this has been one of the most difficult spiritual tests of my life. God obviously allowed this for a purpose and I believe He saw some things in my life that needed to be "pruned."
I have never allowed Him such access to me (being vulnerable and broken) as I have through this. So although this was the most horrific experience I've gone through, at the same time, I know it's grown me to a deeper, more intimate walk with God.
There is something about being desperate that takes you straight to God's throne.
I am just believing that once this stuff is fully out of my system, I will regain some normalcy again.
Keep pressing on and striving to seek God. He'll show up and answer you (even if it's not healing, he'll give you strength to get through it. ).
If you need a friend, I am here!
