Lexapro Withdrawal: How did you taper successfully?

How slowly did you taper? My Doctor has suggested 20 mg one day & 15 mg the next which I have been doing for nearly 2 weeks but I’m nauseated & dizzy. I’ve been on this drug for 20 years. I have read the longer you’re on it the harder it is to reduce dosage?

Are you taking Lexapro? I have been on 10 mg since December 2022 so for five months. I hope to be able to ditch this stuff after we move but will continue to take through our move. It does keep me a little calmer so I don’t worry so much about our pup. My husband just turned 68 and had quadruple bipass surgery about 25 years ago so I worry about him too.
I hope your dizziness and nausea subside. Best of luck.
Adel 😊
