Hi everyone,

Thanks so much for being there. I have been watching this board for several days because I am going through Lexapro withdrawals.
I am on day 24 of being Lexapro free and I'm still not doing well. I am very sensitive to drugs and was only on this one for 2 months. I worked up from 2.5 to 10mg a week at a time and the day I reached 10mg my stomach started hurting and it wouldn't go away. I didnt notice any benefit from the drug so stupidly decided to withdraw before I told my Dr. I did it at 2.5mg per week and didn't feel withdrawal until 3 days after I took my last pill. It was really awful for the first two weeks. Brain zaps like crazy, emotional, nausea, tired, nightmares etc etc.
Now I'm beginning to get scared that it will never go away. The posts I've read don't seem to indicate that it lasts this long.
This morning I woke up in the midst of a panic attack with brain zaps and nausea. The nausea has gotten better but the zaps haven't.
I do take Xanax and Klonopin and have for several years. I don't know why I let the Dr talk me into another SSRI. I've always had bad luck with them.
Anyone else out there have symptoms for as long as I have? I'm beginning to need some reassurance.
