Off the Lexapro
I went on & off the Lexapro pretty quickly this time. It's not that it doesn't work, it's that it works too well. I was so happy I couldn't stand it. I cannot believe normal people walk around that happy all the time; I would go insane. I mean, I was all happy and shit, in the most annoying way. I would look at the tulips and practically weep for the beauty of it all. I was nearly skipping up the street to buy beer and cigarettes and I didn't even want to drink and smoke that much! Obviously everything was hideously wrong and I had to get off the stuff. So, a few days of withdrawal and mood swings and I'm pleased (not happy, not that) to report that I'm back to being cynical, bitchy, querulent and miserably existential. It's so much better this way.

My name is Lisa Carter and i would like to show you my personal experience with Lexapro.
I am 39 years old. Have been on Lexapro for 2 years now. This medication had an almost immediate positive effect on my life. Within 2 to 3 days of starting Lexapro, there was a noticeable lift in my general mood. A WARNING ABOUT STOPPING OR WEANING OFF LEXAPRO: I started taking 10 mg daily a couple of years ago for about 2 months, then decided I just didn't want to take medicine every day. So I weaned myself off over a 2-wk period, first reducing the dose to 5 mg/day, then 5 mg every other day before I stopped altogether. I figured I would be able to tell if my mood was going downhill and I would just restart if it did. Well, there was no gradual decline. I was careful to monitor my mood and thoughts every day and everything went great for about 3 months, then C.R.A.S.H!!! I mean it hit me like a WALL, very very suddenly! Despite exercising 4-5x per week, healthy eating, etc., I hit an all-time low.
I have experienced some of these side effects-
Constant dull headache, jittery in the morning if taken before bed, dizziness. These negative side effects subsided within a week or two. Other side effects have continued, including sleepiness and yawning, apathy, vivid (but great) dreams. My libido died and never came back.
I hope this information will be useful to others,
Lisa Carter
