Hi everybody.
I wanted to give a quick introduction here. I'm a long-time "lurker." I found SA before starting Lexapro in March 2018. I read through the withdrawal accounts with some trepidation. Before starting my SSRI medication, I thoroughly grilled my doctors about withdrawal—both primary and neuro. Both insisted there was no SSRI withdrawal syndrome and that suggestions to the contrary were a myth.
In short, I believed them over you. This was a mistake.
I didn't have depression. I wasn't suffering from anxiety. I had chronic cluster headaches.
