Getting off Lexapro

Stop taking Lexapro after 5 days I couldn't bare the side effects it was just too much. My anxiety got worse. My doctor didn't give me anything else, I just continue to take Gabapentin, Hydroxizin, Lamotrogine and Lorazepam. He up the dose of Lamotrogine by 25mg from 100 mg. Haven't been feeling well. Ugh...have a good day everyone!
