Notes on Taper off lexpro

i believe that coming off is a bit like when you start these meds - not much fun. they say to expect an in crease in anxiety and or low mood. naturally people assume this is their initial problem resurfacing but it is actually side effect of coming off and will stop.. so id imagine its all a massive head wreck! i have no personal experience of stopping meds altogether but this is just what ive read in things like nhs website/mental health websites. a bit like going on the meds, some people have a terrible time others are fine. i did switch from sertraline to lexapro so had to taper and had no issues at all - i had horrendous time on sertraline so i was surpised at this. its also my ambition to come off one day, when i have recovered... good luck
