Think that the results of what physicians give us are based on their encounters with other patients, and what they have read, and therefore, every now and then they run across someone like you and others who do not fit the mold. As a result, you become the example who does not follow what is thought to be normal in terms of a patient with a symptom formally unknown. Good for you. I also had abnormal reactions to both Lexapro and Wellbutrin XL which I had been taking off and on for years. Lexapro was the hardest in terms of no longer taking since it had side effects when I stopped taking it. I resumed taking it long enough to wean off of it gradually and strongly recommend to those trying to cease taking Lexapro to consider with the advice of their physician and research to do the same.
