The dosage in ml should be the same as in mg. That is 5 ml is equal to 5mg. I decreased my dosage by 10% every three - four weeks. If I traveled, I would go longer not shorter between dosage changes. At the end I didn’t quite stick to the exact schedule. The first time I weaned off, I followed the schedule I will post below. A few years later, I suffered a traumatic loss that caused extreme anxiety, so I started taking Lexapro 10 mg again. When I tried to wean off this time, it caused me to have much more frequent “silent” or what I called “ocular” migraines. I get vision disturbances for about a half hour; sometimes I have a headache, nausea or fatigue but not always. I stopped the taper at 5 mg. Another thing I could have done, as recommended by the website surviving antidepressants is really slow down the taper - maybe 5% every three to four weeks. I am on hold now to see if the migraines might stabilize- they haven’t and it has been almost a year since I stopped at 5 mg. Also if I get a “bad” batch of the generic Lexapro, my migraines will increase to daily or twice daily.

I will make a separate post with my original taper - don’t want to type it all in and have the post rejected for being too long.
