I'm glad I just found this message board! I was reading through the postings and those of you who have not experience mind/brain zaps are very lucky. I was on 10mg
Lexapro for more than 21/2 years, then a few months ago, my doctor placed me on a higher dosage (20mg). This was after I asked if I could be weened off of it. About a week ago I completely stopped taking it. No weening, nothing. It has been horrible. Sleeplessness, high heart rate, brain zaps and whole body tremors have been the norm for the past week. My emotional state has been less than cheery and I cry at everything. I would have preferred to ween myself off the meds, but had no $$ at the time to get a refill, or go to the doctor. It has truly been a nightmare.
