Does Lexapro Cause Dizziness?

Yes, thank you. I have been on lexapro, 10 mg daily for 6 years. I felt it was time to get off because I felt perfectly fine. I gradually have been off for about 1 month. Everything is great except I feel a little light headed and unsure when walking sometimes. Is this normal?

Hello,
If you have been completely off the Lexapro for a month the dizziness is probably not coming form stopping the lexapro. See your doctor for an exam and possibly blood tests to determine the cause. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water
