Hi King, would you start a thread for yourself in introductions? We would all love to hear your 

experience and how it has been for you. It's always good to see that people are getting better

and gives hope to us all  :)  Thank you for sharing.

Lesson learned, slow down taper at lower doses. Taper no more than 10% of CURRENT dose if possible

Welcome, Kingb.

 

I see this is your Introduction topic now.

 

How did you go off Lexapro? Did you get withdrawal symptoms? How have they changed? What are you doing to recover?

This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.
