I have been taking lexapro for about 2 years ,but recently I wasnt able to take it for 5 days .will it take 2-4 weeks to start having an effect again please help the withdrawal syptoms are unbearable
Hi there, the best thing to do is get back on it. Are you back on it now? It will have to take effect again although the withdrawal symptoms should go away after you start taking it. Can you tell me how you're doing now?
I can't imagine that it would take 2 - 4 weeks to take effect again. I'd say more likely one week - both to reverse the withdrawal symptoms and to notice the drug working for you again. I hope you've already gotten back on it!!!
I say one week b/c when I got back on my lexapro after a 2 week hiatus I noticed w/ in days that things were getting back to normal (normal being ON the lexapro.)
Good luck!
