Lexapro side effects

[Nosce_te_ipsum]

Hello everyone!

I just quited (under my psychiatrist guidance) taking Lexapro. I've been taking 10mg for two years and 5mg for two more years. I experienced some

abstinence syndrome for a couple of weeks which is normal but I also have some concentration and memory problems. Well, being more specific, I've been experiencing these two last symptoms the whole year and that was the reason I decided to stop taking Lexapro. I fear these symptoms may last. Has anyone experienced this? during Lexapro treatment and afterwards?

That's a no from me, but everyone's different. How are you feeling now?

Hello

I did quit Lexapro then suffered severe withdrawals. I'm still struggling with the aftermath of it. I now understand it takes time for our brain to come back to normal. I didn't have either concentration or memory problems while I was on it, but I suffered severe muscle tension.

I hope your tapering off will go well.

Hi there, did you ease yourself off of it?

Hi

I hope youre doing ok. Quitting psychotropic meds is hard. It takes so long time for our brain to regain equilibrium. That's what's im still struggling. It's really hard.

Since I quit Lexaoro, I don't need to go to a massage once a week anymore. I truly hope your cognitive function will go back to normal.

Hugs
