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.

It will get better! Just hang in there. My doctor prescribed htp for me which is a natural serotonin producer and it helps! You can’t take it with other antidepressants though cause it could give you too much serotonin which is dangerous. it also helps to exercise. I’m addicted to running 3 miles a day. And diet is huge! I stopped eating gluten, diary and sugar. Can’t wait to hear the rest of your story. Good luck & God heals/ bless!
