Do you think I can get thru this? I am still doing 5 mg of Lexipro a day, and already I am annoyed, crying and very tired. Of course, my blood sugar is very low right now so that might be contributing to this. I could use some encouragement. I’m also worried about what will I be like without an antidepressant. So scared!

Hi -I was on Lexapro for about 10 weeks-10 mg/day-trying to ween myself off it-doc told me to cut in half for4 days and the 5 mg every other day-since I have been off this my symptoms and anxiety have increase, insomnia, loss of appetite, don’t want to leave the house, irritable, loss of interest in everything, can’t relax , pain in the middle of me shoulder blades and extreme high blood pressure , which I never had before) I am taking 300 mg of fish oil day, vitamin B-12 and vitamin D-3. Also taking Xanax (approx .50-.75 mg daily to help. I feel like I’m going CRAZY-not myself at all-don’t tell me to go back on the Lexapro cause it did nothing for me to begin with that is why I am getting off. PLEASE HELP—any suggestions greatly welcomes
