I have to say that I am going soon to go from 5 mg of Lexipro to one every other day and I am so scared I’m shaking and crying. I’ve never been this scared before because of everything I’ve read that people go through. Wondering what it will be like and if I will be able to take care of my special needs son when I go thru this, how long it will last and my mind goes on and on.

Hi, @farabella - I'm sorry you are feeling so scared about tapering down your Lexapro.

Hoping members like @youngsally @kdo0827 @guener @gailb may have some words of wisdom for you as you go through this process.

@farabella - wondering what your doctor may have said about your fears about weaning off this medication and what support they can provide you during the taper?
