@mentor51 I can understand your concern about how you are feeling changing your dose of Lexapro. I'm very sensitive to psych drugs, and when I have an adjustment my psychiatrist is careful to make the adjustment gradually. (On a separate subject, don't EVEN get me started on what it's like for me tapering prednisone from Crohn's treatments.) It's important if you feel really in distress to let your doctor know about it. I had some significant side effects from coming off Cymbalta, and slowing down how quickly I came off the drug made it easier. I don't think I've ever had a psych drug change where I didn't notice a bit of discomfort or strange feelings. It's helpful, perhaps, also to let your close ones know what you're going through, to get some extra support and reassurance.
