Hey. I stoped lexapro after being on 20mg dose cold. Let me tell you...... Im feel very wierd in short. Nightmares, wierd depression like want to do nothing state. I started Wellbutrin again (generic) and hope it will kick in soon. I was on the name brand before lex about a year ago, hope its the same! Good luck and remember to tapper off(not like me[xx(]) everything will be ok[:I]

This is my second time wheening myself off of Lexapro. The first time, I was so out of it that I had to be off of work for a week. I wheened myself too fast. This time, though, I took it really slow (a month of lowering my dosage)...Now I get this crazy wierd feeling everytime I move my eyes, sit up, stand up, etc. I see it's happening to others in my research but what can I do about it. It's freaken me out.

I have experienced this with narcotic pain medicine. I was taking percocet at one point and when I was off it I seemed to have a pretty bad depression spell that lasted a week or two. Wasnt fun, sorta made me think I needed the drug to stay happy.
