Just tapered off lexapro-some questions

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi-I’m on my second day of no lexapro. I went down slowly and started Cymbalta and cross tapered. I started on 20 mg for a week and now 30 mg since Wednesday. Ugh-I feel terrible, anxiety, jitters, headache. I’m wondering if it’s lexapro withdrawal or starting up a new med. any thoughts? Thanks!

      I was on 15 mg for a bit then 12.5 for a month then 10 mg. I was on 10 mg for about 9 months before I upped it.
