My doctor finally got back to me and said I could just stop taking Lexapro. Today’s my first day without it I still feel very weak and nauseous, but it’s early in the day. How long do these symptoms usually take to go away when off of the drug?

I was placed on Lexapro and was on it for several months. I was also coming off of Paxil. I stopped Paxil and it was frightening, Lexapro. I could not handle the anxiety and it was overactive for me. I really got scared feeling my body could not handle it. I tapered off with the help of my psychiatrist and am back on Paxil which worked for me in the past. They call a clean antidepressant, I call it very scary.
