How To Wean Off Lexapro?
I have been taking 10mg of lexapro for a month now. Started with 1/2 pill a day for first week. I do not like the flat way I feel. It was prescribed for stress I was having with my job. I have since submitted retirement paperwork and will finish be working in 2 weeks. I would like to stop the lexapro but have read about possible withdrawal concerns.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you are worrying about the withrawal of medicine then you can tapper the dose of medicines gradually and then stop this although it can be stopped at once, if you could control the symtoms that may not be true withdrawal or may not be severe one hope this information helps.
