Re: Help! Horrible withdrawl symptoms from Lexapo

Each time I've tapered off an AD, I've had the same response. And who can afford to not work for a week or however long it takes! The week before last was my final dose of Serzone, which I had been tapering off of for about a month and a half. Every time I would *not* take it (and I was down to chipping pieces off my tablets twice a day), the symtoms would return.

This is what I did: Keep taking a tiny bit every day, making the pieces smaller as you go, and keep track of the time you take it. I always took my day dose of Serzone at noon. So when I got down to the really, really tiny pieces of Serzone, I would wait until 3 or 4 and see if I started getting the symptoms. One day (after about three days of this) I didn't get the symptoms. So I just didn't take it. The symptoms never returned and I was finally off it!

I hope that helps. Other advice: eat really really well and exercise while tapering. Don't put any "junk" in your body and make sure you sweat and are active every day. Good luck!
