I can not speak specifically to lexapro, because I really don't remember, even though I did take it short-term. I really think it made me feel so much worse that I did not take it long enough to experience w/d's. I am currently trying to wean off Klonopin (clonazepam) as my new Psych thinks it has made me numb to everything and there is a double inhibition of breathing with my narcotics and that is really dangerous. I can tell you that after 5 days, I am not having much fun. I expect I will have two more months like this and then when we get me down by 50%, she will feel comfortable introducing a new anti depressant. I will be happy to offer you my experience and would really appreciate you doing the same.
