What Causes Fatigue And Dizziness After Stopping Lexapro Intake?

Hello, I had been taking Lexapro for about 10 years. I recently became fed up with the insurance companies and decided to wean off the way that had been described to me since I started taking the drug. It went really well and now I am completely off the medication. I am experiencing symptoms that can be expected such as brain zaps , dizziness, and feeling as though my thoughts are clouded. It has been about one week since my last dose and those symptoms are begging to subside. However, since I stopped, I feel overwhelmingly fatigued. I ve suffered from insomnia my whole life, and now I go to sleep at 9pm and sleep until 9am and then take naps during the day. Is this normal? How long will this last? Thank you so much for your time! Noelle
