Hi I am 25 years old and have been on lexapro for 15 years. The past few years I have been very ill. I am tired all the time, get dizzy spells 4 to 5 times a week and get body aches. I have ready articles about lexapro causing long term effects. I have been to a neurologist and an ENT and they can't find anything wrong. We are starting to think these symptoms are from the medicine. Has anyone else experienced this or something like it.

    Tell me more about the dizzy. I get this too!! But it’s like a low level dizzy. I just tapered off lexapro, been two days and I still feel dizzy. Ugh.
