Hi!
Yes! I have been on Lexapro for the greater part of 18 YEARS. I started tapering three weeks ago, 10mg every other day; 5mg every other day 2.5 mg every 3 days for a week and then nothing. I am now one week from my last 2.5mg dose. I am feeling dizzy, light headed, kind of out of body. I’m considering returning to 2.5 mg maybe once or twice a week to slow these side effects down.

I also have been more irritable, “difficult”. The good news is prior to feeling light headed, I felt more energetic, more myself and more in tune with my boundaries. I also exoerienced some headaches a few days after my last dose.

Hi!
Yes! I have been on Lexapro 10mg for the greater part of 18 YEARS for GAD & depression. I started tapering four weeks ago, 10mg every other day; 5mg every other day 2.5 mg every 3 days for a week and then nothing. I am now 10 days out from my last 2.5mg dose. I am feeling dizzy, light headed, kind of out of body. I’m considering returning to 2.5 mg maybe once or twice a week to slow these side effects down. I also have been more irritable, “difficult”, less tolerant. The good news is prior to feeling light headed, I felt more energetic, more myself and more in tune with my boundaries. I also experienced some headaches a few days after my last dose. Reasons for coming off: weight gain 100lbs over 18 years, spirituality, wanting to be fully present, want my spicey and sassy motivated self back. Also, lexapro interferes with my menstrual cycle (amenorrhea). My period has already returned.
Good luck everyone! We can do it!!

Yes I have dizziness for 24 days and it’s like a feeling through my whole body it’s getting better but very present still I’m coming up on 3 weeks withdraw and almost a month off totally … I’m trying to keep telling myself it gets better this is part of the process . My dr stopped me cold turkey after 14 days at 5 mg (4 days of that were 2.5 mg ) but it’s so hard to remain positive it gets scary
