Lexapro Withdrawal or Anxiety ?

[mrigdon]

Hello Everyone,

I brand new at the forum thing, so please help if you can... Up until 3 months ago I have never had a major illness in my lifetime of 33 years, I have been on Lexapro 10mg for 3 months for anxiety & panic attacks which worked great except for the insomnia part and the sickness was probably caused by living with in-laws while our house was being built and the worry that comes with building. After moving in to the new home, I assummed anxiety would be gone and by Dr. orders reduced to 5mg per day for 14 days and then was instructed to reduce to 5mg every other day for 14 more days, "I never made it that far" by day 14, I began to have swooping feelings and major major wore out feelings again...Is this the withdrawal or is the anxiety coming back....?
