hi i was just reading the posts and im new here. im trying to get off lexapro and had no idea there were side effects.my doctor never told me anything. but that would explain the crying and sever depression and fear ive suffered the last couple of days. ive been on lexapro for 3 yrs now. i started having problems after the birth of my son. i have extreme anxiety and OCD issues. i think lexapro has helped me over the yrs but i want to get pregnant again and really want to get off the meds even though my doc said its safe to take it during pregnancy.i take 20 mgs and dropped to 15mgs and have been taking 15 for about a week and a half now. im scared to drop to 10mgs since ive been crying and bitchy to my husband and son for a couple of days. im really scared and i dont know how im going to be when im completely off of this. will i be extremely anxious to the point of not functioning again. will i have racing thoughts and stuff again. im so scared. but i am glad i got to read your posts it helps me but i could use all the support i could get so thanks for listening.
