Off the lexipro

This is my first question, I have only replied on here. I took myself off lexipro, cuz of a bad situation me and my family are in and not having health insurance for the next 3 months. Anyway, I am regretting it, I feel everything came flooding back, it's kinda overwhelming. Has anyone experienced this before?

Yes. I have been on Lexapro since it first came out as a new drug, and I was on 30mg (I know that is high) for about 15 years. I went off and suffered intense withdrawal and severe depression. I strongly recommend getting on a generic (much cheaper!) like escitalopram. GoodRX might also help there.
