I have recently been decreasing my Lexapro form 10mg to 7.5mg to 5mg to 2.5 mg over the last two weeks and now I am experincing severe breast tenderness. It's worse than the breast tenderness I can experience with PMS. Has anyone every experinced this, for how long and how did you cope with it?

i decreased mine from ten to 5 because i couldnt handle the side effects and am having the same problem. it is way worse than pms. but i reduced this amount the next day. i waas scared i might be preganant but i took two tests (at home0 that came back negative. All my symptoms could be from the lexapro besides the breast tenderness. all i know is i was fine until i started taking it. but the anxiety is better lol

I realize these are older post...but thank you! I thought I was going crazy...the breast pain seems mostly in one more than the other. I probably should have cut my doses longer than I did before quitting all together! I was out on it to dull my anxiety of a digestive issue, the the side effects where not worth it any more! My doctor actually told me it was ok to have a little wine..ahh no! It causes horrendous heart burn and hot flashes! Thought I was going through menopause! Withdrawal has been even worse , I've resorted to taking clonazepam as needed to get through the withdrawal symptoms. Still having my hormones tested to be safe. Trying oils and homeopathic treatments from now on!

I know this is an old thread but had to say I’m experiencing this from my 7.5 to 5mg cut. I was at 7.5 for 8 weeks. One week into 5 and my breast feel like they did during early pregnancy. Can’t wait to be fine with this Rx.

I am experiencing the same thing plus I gained about 8 pounds over the course of two weeks for no apparent reason. Has anyone else had weight gain like this?

Hi, guest.
The best thing to do in this situation is to speak with a doctor or mental health professional about your withdrawal symptoms. They can help you manage your withdrawal symptoms and make sure that you are on the right path for recovery. They may recommend tapering off the medication slowly, or suggest alternative treatments for managing your symptoms.
Additionally, they can provide support and resources for managing your withdrawal symptoms, such as antidepressant medications, therapy, or lifestyle changes.
Can you tell us where you are with your withdrawal?

Oh my goodness YES! I'm taking both 10mg of lexapro and Buproprion and I've gained 10lbs in 5 weeks and my nipples are sore and sensitive.
