That is how I am...but doctors keep telling me I wouldn't be on it that long and I could go off when the lexapro worked. Well it was that easy. Dr switched me after 2 weeks to zoloft, pharmacy made an error and gave 5 xs the dose I was told to have (that was a setback) and then Dr switched me from xanax to ativan (.5 or ½) a day. Here I am one month later now he says don't take every day. I tried this yesterday and clearly had withdrawl. Thank goodness I hav a wonderful counselor who knew what was happening. He instructed me to wean off. He is going to reach out to my dr (physchitrist) to inform himnI need to withdrawl.
