O.K. so i've been ready over these posts the entire weekend trying to learn more about tapering, and the withdrawl effects from
Lexapro. It has been 8 days since I switched from 30mg down to 20mg. I posted a couple times on another thread so if this is repetitive sorry..i really don't know how this works! Anyway, after seeing my Dr. he said i could drop from 30mg to 20mg to 10mg and then stop every week!! Thank God I am not listening to him because i guess he's never experienced these withdrawl symptoms. I am a little scared of the things i've been reading. I am uncomfortable, and irritable, but i don't want to kill myself or anything. I am afraid that i will have these thoughts though. I am not planning on going down to 10mg any time soon..i will stay right where i am. Today is the first day i REALLY feel the withdrawl and feel pretty wacky.I don't know if anyone has any suggestions, but i have been taking
advil pm to sleep. My doctor said this was better than taking trazadone because it's better on my heart. I don't know what the hell they are worried about i'm 28yrs old and healthy and this is the first time i've heard about any heart danger from the trazadone. Thanks Doc! Any advice ya'll?
