I have taken 20mg Lexapro since October 2011. I went cold turkey on December 10th, 2012 until withdrawal symptoms attacked and I went back to it on January 3rd, 2013. This is my approach this time:

- Taper off to 15mg for one month with consultation beginning August 20th, 2013.

- On September 20th, 2013, taper down to 10mg.

- On October 20th, 2013, taper down to 5mg.

- On November 20th, 2013, taper down to 2.5mg.

- Finally on December 20th, 2013, end the dosage.

During this period, I expect extreme dizziness, out of body experiences, nausea, agressiveness, restlessness, and confusion. I also expect to sleep better feel more like myself.

The difference from last time going off is strength in religion, daily online brain workouts, working out and keeping my mind on career, school, and part time job. I shall encounter many beautiful women, however, I am staying away from this temptation until I am stable. I will need support from people on this forum going through this process as well as my priest, family, and psychiatrist. 

Thanks in advance for all advice and personal input as I go through this.
