Question about Lexapro...help!

Hi all,

A little over two weeks ago I finished tapering off Lexapro and now and off completely. Since this Wednesday I have had nausea, a lump in my throat and 'stomach' problems. Is it possible that it's a delayed reaction to my body getting rid of all the remaining drug? I physically feel crappy. I've had chills, leg cramps and fatigue as well plus dizziness and trouble focusing my eyes.

At first I thought it was a 24 hour thing but it's lingering. I feel nauseous until I eat then I feel ok for a few hours and it comes back. I'm wondering know if I'm actually going thru some type of withdrawal. Anyone know? Thanks Christine

Hi hun!


I never took Lexapro so I cant answer directly but I would think if you tapered off like you say that you shouldnt be having this strong a withdrawal.. However it is possible .. its also possible that you have the flu or some other nasty bug hehe... If its been more then 24hours and you are dizzy like that as well as everything else I would call the doctor for sure..


Hope everything is OK and keep us posted!
