I just found out I was pregnant and immediately called my psych dr to Ask about getting off lexapro 10mg I'd been take just under a year. He told me cut in half for 5 days them stop all together. I thought great! The night sweats began immediately and slight to mild nausea and less energy. I thought could be my prego Hooked (although I've prego before and never experienced this I thought ya never know) Well Saturday might was my last half by Sunday I was having night increased night sweats, lack of appetite horrible nausea, and hearing echos like a train rolling down the tracks noise. In addition eye tremors, vertigo, and when trying to read words sometimes move. I feel more like I'm On a drug now then ever only it's my body horribly detoxing I assume. Called my dr first thing Monday with all These symptoms and he said well give it 4 more days should go away. Day 4, still here vertigo hasn't changed nor nausea. It's like your on a small boat I'm deep sea feelings. Very draining and I feel forgetful and have difficulty making complete sentences. So called my dr today on day 4 and he says nahhhh that's not the medication and don't read what people say. You prob have an inner ear infection! What???? I'm so frustrated now and know he's medically wrong about withdrawals not happening when I read a million stories with ever same side effect I'm experiencing is the only thinks not making me feel crazy or bring back anxiety that something's horribly wrong with me. Anyway I will follow up With primary dr to Hsve ears looked at tomorrow and hopefully get an 2nd opinion on withdrawal and how to get through it safely. Especially because this is taking all my energy away that should be used for my babies growth. What keeps me pushing threw it though is the thought that if I stayed on my baby then would withdrawal like this at birth - that's scary!!! If I would have known all these side effects prior that my dr denies happen I would have never taken this med snd seeked a diff route! Of anyone has any tips on how long this last or natural remedies or safer meds to detox through this I'd love to hear? Thank you
