In reply to Lexapro Withdrawals, posted by Prismlord on December 27, 2003, at 9:40:38
I started to go off Lexapro after discussion with the doc concerning libido and erectile problems settled in after ~ 1 yr on it (previously ~ 8 yr on Zoloft). She said do it gradually (less and less), which I've been doing. I recently got some mild bug (flu?), and thought the dizzyness and loss of equilibrium was part of that, but now have reallized it is the withdrawal. Nasty.
The doc was not aware of sexual side effects of Lex, but I think she ought to be reading this board! Anyway, like several on the list, I pine for something that does not wreck other functions. In spite of their well founded claims, Lexapro is NOT the answer.
