Hi, I have problems with depression. I had to get professional help. I am going to psychiatric for last two years. I have been prescribed with lexapro last few months but it didnt help me much. It has even worsened the situation. I am scared of withdrawal symptoms like dizziness that I feel now. I have heard that diphenhydramine helps with lexapro withdrawal. Is it true? Any experiences?

I am not an expert but I can tell you my story. I have been taking lexapro for a year, when I have decided to cut the doses and then to quite taking it. I had problems with dizziness and quick, sudden flashes in head. I had take Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and it has really helped me to stop those unpleasant symptoms. I had only felt a little sleepy after that.
