Red face 1.5 Months after 10mg of Lexapro....

So here I am, about 1.5 months after Lexapro and I thought I had almost beat the beast of withdrawals. I got everything from the brain zaps, irritability (I am usually a cool dude), flu-like symptoms that turned into bronchitis, stomach issues, headaches, and weird sleep-like patterns. This has pretty much all diminished except the slight dizziness I get and the unrefreshing sleep. One thing to note is the aggressive libido coming back, so that's a plus...and also dropping some pounds has been a great thing too. I was on Lexapro for 2.5 years and it did work great for me, except for the weight gain and sexual side effects. I have been married for almost 4 years and since day 1, we have had issues with sex - THANK YOU Prozac. Talk about bad timing on taking the medication. Got off it cuz I felt great and then got back into the anxiety state. Doc placed me on Wellbutrin 300 XL and then Lexapro 10mg.

I am having faith and hope that this weird light-headedness goes away and that my normal sleep pattern returns. I wake up groggy. It's kind of hard to explain. The dizziness started about a week ago. So, it took a month after my last pill of Lexapro to get that symptom. About 2 weeks ago, my doc also removed me from Wellbutrin, cold turkey. Anyways, share your experience here. I know there is already a HUGE thread on Lexapro Withdrawal but unfortunately, I didnt get any replies back from my postings and I am not interested about learning about supplements. I want my body to produce it's own "medicinal" goodies. Take care.
