In reply to withdrawal effects of lexapro, posted by calmlikeabomb on March 30, 2004, at 8:17:23
Hi Calm - I haven't stopped taking Lex, but wanted to comment that my symptoms were always worse in the summer too. I never met anyone else who mentioned cycling throughout the year. Most people feel better with the summer sun . . . not me, I get crazier from May to August! I'm really fair-skinned and don't tolerate heat well, maybe that's related.
Take care and good luck to you. You'll get through it, just take it a day at a time and let your body readjust! I hear that dizziness is part of the w/drawal and that Lex w/drawal is MUCH easier than Paxil!!!
