I had been taking 5 mg of Lexapro for just 3 months and I do not know why the withdrawal syndrome took so long? Do you think that's normal? I have difficulty concentrating, I have insomnia and weakness for a whole few months.
For the fourth month I have had the Lexapro withdrawal syndrome?

Hi, garni!
For a low dose for a short time four months IS an awfully long time to be having any residual effects.
Have you talked to your doctor about this for professional advice? You should probably also rule out any other cause.
I'm sorry you're having problems and I hope you start feeling better soon.

I drank alcohol several times during withdrawal syndrome, I do not know how much it affects this syndrome, but alcohol did not work well this time. I do not know, I do not see any other reason why I am like that. The fact is, I'm fine after taking the medication, but these symptoms just do not go away. One week I had a relapse and got my head in my hands, the other I am fine.
