Lexapro Withdrawal: How did you taper successfully?

I found that taking Lexapro at dinner time rather than before bed helped my sleep problems. I also tried taking it at breakfast rather than before bed but I felt drowsy during the day.. Maybe experimenting with the time you take it will help. But be sure to do this gradually…just few hours earlier each day. Everyone is different! I also take Melatonin at bedtime as well as Clonazepam for restless legs.

Thanks for your reply. We are actually moving across coasts in about 3 weeks so I will probably continue the Lexapro 10 mg in the am (along with my Rampiril 10 mg for blood pressure), and stop taking Melatonin 3 mg before bedtime as we will have our doggie with us and I will need to get up early with hubby to complete our 4 day travel successfully I would like to taper off the Lexapro completely as I have never taken this stuff b4. I will wait till we get to the other end before doing so though. Have you done any therapy alongside taking Lexapro? What mg Lexapro are you currently taking?
Thanks for sharing & caring.
Adel 😊
