I have also been taking lexapro for almost 3 years and all of a sudden 2 weeks ago I started getting a rash on my arms, now it is on my thighs and hips. But I had such a bad reaction 3 years ago when I tried getting off of the antidepressant fluoxetine and they put me on lexapro. I feel great emotionally so I am really scared of getting off of it. I don't think I could survive the horrible symptoms of getting off of it again. Any suggestions.
