I've been taking Lexapro for a little over a year. I have started the taper and cut down to 5mg for a while and was wondering how much longer it will be in my system? I stopped taking it on Sunday 26th of August.
How long does it take for 5mg of Lexapro to leave the system completely?

With a half life of 32 hours it will take approximately 9 days for it to leave your system, so you will be clear by around September 4.
