Default Lexapro withdrawal, dizzy and lightheaded, when will this stop?

Hi all. Well I had been taking 1/2 of a 5 mg pill of lexapro for about 9 months. I just stopped taking them on Feb 1st. I just didnt feel like I needed them anymore and I would like to get pregnant soon also. Anyway, I have heard about all the weird withdrawal symptoms, like the lightheadedness/dizzines, or head spins. I really dont know what to call them! Its just weird. I really didnt think Id have any withdrawal symptoms since I was on such a low dose but I guess I was wrong! Anyway, this probably started about a week ago, when I was sick. At first I thought it might be due to being sick or having a sinus infection possibly but now I am over that and I am still feeling this way. Its really frustrating. Whenever I am just walking around I feel like this. I cant even imagine how Id feel if I had been on a higher dose! Anyway, for those of you who have gone off of lexapro, how long do these withdrawal symptoms last? Its been 16 days now since I stopped so Im hoping this will go away soon! I just want to feel normal again. Anyway, thanks everyone for your help!
