Wondering if anyone has ever come off Lexapro for a few months and got back on it a few months later and if so, did they work again?

    I am taking Lexapro now because I did that with celexa and it gave me all kinds of awful side effects it didn’t give me the first time around

      Ok so you went from Celexa to Lexapro? Did you have problems with the transition?

      I actually tried Zoloft for 8 weeks before the Lexapro and had a bad time of it, I’m about a month on the Lexapro and still getting adjusted, just raised my dose again so still having diarrhea and headaches and that fun stuff. The jury is still out whether or not this will be the one for me.
