Ok, my birthday party was last friday, and i decided to drink alcohol, so I decided not to take my 10mg Lexapro and my 2.5mg abilify. Well after that i kinda decided to drop off of them cold turkey.... now it's the 29th and I'm having a lot of anxiety, I'm dizzy, and have a horrible headache, and my moods are just fluctuating in a fairly strange pattern. I even was doing some serious thinking about breaking up with my girlfriend yesterday, for reasons that weren't even grounded in reality. I've got to work in about 2 and a half hours and I feel horrible. The main reasons I wanted to get of this medication is because A: I feel like they helped me get my life straightened out but now their doing more harm than good and that I'm better off without them. and B: When I move out of my parents place i'm not going to be able to afford them on my own.

I still want to get rid of these pills, but I don't know how to go about doing it.... cold turkey is obviously not working. HELP PLEASE.

Mmm, I guess you know that wasn't the smartest thing you've ever done. There is another thread on this board you should look at, with people who are detoxing from Lexapro. It's one of those drugs you should taper off, rather than going cold turkey. Have a look at this thread and try posting your question there; there are lots of very experienced people who can help you:
