I am thoroughly convinced that the nightmare I am experiencing after ceasing Lexapro very recently pales in comparison to the more than 10 years on the drug. Everyone who attempts to stop taking Lexapro is a true hero and courageous. I want to share my experience in the hope that God did not allow me to have wasted 10 years of my life living in a cocoon. Lexapro never cured anyone it just does a good job of masking a persons underlying issues. One of my latest withdrawal symptoms is realising that I am now in some sort of dyslexic state. I see the numbers 4371 today but my mind records them as 4731. Simple cognitive tasks turn into hour long problem solving. This story will continue and I will give the beginning and end parts over time.
