ipuka Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Found this recently - it sums up much of what is in this forum (in my opinion), and validates it as well! https://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/mental-health/treatments-and-wellbeing/stopping-antidepressants May 2022 - tapered off. January 2021 - .5 mg Lexapro September 2010 - 7.5 mg Lexapro. February 2019 - 10 mg Lexapro. Attempted tapering off 3-4 times (before finding this site). April 2019 - Lorazepam .5 mg as needed (rarely used). CT March 2020 *I speak from my own experience. What I say is not medical advice. I'm not a doctor.

Moderator Emeritus ChessieCat Posted September 29, 2020 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted September 29, 2020 This has already been posted in the In the Media forum as well as added to the how-to-talk-to-a-doctor-about-tapering and the helping-family-understand topics. Generally we would merge topics about the same thing but because this is VERY RELEVANT and needs to be publicised I will leave it here in the tapering forum as well.
