Lexapro was difficult to get off, but worth it. I did try to stop taking it cold turkey and found out that by doing so, I had rage and anger issues with the withdrawal. I resumed and just decreased the dosage until I was finally off. Originally, I was on 10mg and just decreased to 5mg and then none at all. I was unable to tolerate the side effects of it and at the same time, it was added to my Wellbutrin XL, which I have recently found out has its own side effects that I am not tolerating either. So, currently weaning off Wellbutrin XL also.

Thank you so much for reaching out to me. I’m going through hell right now and have to wait until tomorrow for a stress center appointment. I am going crazy just getting through the day and cannot sleep at night.
