Welcome @mentor51. I'm bringing @frank1 @ronnie3716 and @jay_baruch into this discussion because they too have changed their dosage of Lexapro in the recent past and may have some thoughts to share. @frank1 is also in the process of getting off the drug.
Mentor51 - are you reducing the dosage under the guidance of a doctor?

Yes but she wants me to move faster than I can. I'm very sensitive to meds and need to take it at my own pace. I'm going to try the vitamins. Just need to feel connected. Thanks
Yes but I need to go slower than she suggests
Best to you, too! I wish you well.

I went from 20 to 10 mg of Lexapro. Went to 15mg for 2 weeks then 10mg, which I still am on today. I have an anxiety disorder, for as long as I can remember due to a nightmarish childhood. I had little difference in my feelings and no physical side effects. I know that can happen but I was so happy that I didn't experience emotional distress. That was my main apprehension. I stayed really busy at work and kept in my garden, my "away" place. I went off for about 5 months. The anxiety attacks returned and were unreal in their severity. My doc put me back on at 10mg. I hope you find peace of mind and body as you taper off.
