I am 27 yrs old and have been taking Lexapro for about 2 years. I have recently decided to come off the meds b/c i hate the weight gain and the way it makes me feel. I went to the dr. to get weaned off and she said to take a pill every other day for 1 week and I should be fine.. Well i'm not. The side effects are horrible! Does anyone who has weaned off the med. know about how long this will last?
