I have been on
Lexapro for about 2 years. I was taking 10mg a day. My doctor said to wean off slowly. I decreased from 10mg a day to 10mg ever other day for about 4 months. On Monday I went to see him and he said I could stop. For the first two days I was fine. I'm having problems sleeping, I just don't feel tired. Every once in a while I have some dizziness. I didn't realize until reading this form that the sweats I keep getting are from that. I thought it was menopause because I'm 47!! Boy, this is funny. I don't think the withdrawals are that bad. I'll see how long it lasts.
If you daughter is having such severe problems, I would suggest that she go back on it and wean off more slowly. Good Luck.
