Hi Micheke and all, I am on day 3 of being totally off Lexapro. Today is better than yesterday. Yesterday was bad. I was dizzy, very tired, and depressed. Today I am dizzy but I am not that tired and I am not depressed at all. The dizziness today is not as bad as it was the other two times I stopped taking it so it appears that the weaning process of wilddling down a pill to almost nothing may have helped.
This is my plan for the rest of the week if I do have problems. At work, I plan on keeping my head buried in my monitor and keep away the dizziness and to keep myself occupied. For the evening hours, I am not going to worry about getting anything done or accomplishing anything. I rented a bunch of movies so I will watch movies and eat lots of comfort foods. I think if I baby myself like I am sick, I will get through it much easier than if I try to go about my normal life, only to be dizzy, depressed and extremely tired. Once I adopted that philosophy last night I felt much better. So far so good. Maybe I’ll get lucky and it will be all downhill from today on out. I’ll keep you posted.
Rich
P.S. Micheke, how are you making out?
