I am trying to ween off Lexapro. 10 mg for 9 yrs. I just started the process 10 days ago trying to go down to 5 but I just had a huge Anxiety bout for 2 days now. Can’t eat, brain fog, shacky, can’t sit still. My life is very difficult now financially so I think I might wait until I am in a better space all around, work family ect. Do you stay on this drug for life? I am soon to be 65. Good shape. Active. Doing good until I tried to get off again. Fish oils, B12, Testosterone and other herbs. Is there a better option? Combo? Stress is the killer for me.

I feel bad for you. it seems as though the other aspects of your life are going well. Stress is somewhat a factor too. My hubby had quadruple bipass surgery 24 years ago, so I worry too. I am also taking Lexapro 20 mg. I upped it from 10 mg to 20 mg per doctors advice. I am feeling a tad more tired, but we are moving and don’t want to cut back until after we get settled. We have an almost 3 yr old gsd and I hope she doesn’t feel too much of my problem. Did you talk to your doctor before weaning back to five? Keep your chin up. 🥰
