No telling how long. Your biochemistry has been altered and your CNS has been thrown in disarray. However, crying spells are definitely part of the withdrawal.
> I have been totally off of Lexapro since December & it took me about 10-12 weeks to wean myself completely (I took 20 mg./day). The nausea & dizziness were absolutely awful, but fortunately those have subsided. Since about November I have been experiencing crying spells & really rotten moods where I get extremely angry for no apparent reason. I took Zoloft for about 8.5 years then switched to Lexapro for about 1.5 years (so basically I've taken some form of anti-depressant for over 10 years). Does anyone know for how long these crummy feelings will last?
