> Hi, I will say this if you mean that your stopping lexapro because you feel better that is great news. But I would do a little research first if I were you. Some statistics show that a person who quits their meds within the 1st 3 years 2 out of 3 relapse. But I hope it works for you!!!!!!!!! Below is a withdrawal guide for paxil!!! The guide should work for any med if you use the same strategy!!!!!!! This could be quick and simple or it could be the worst hell you ever go through!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!

> http://paxil.bizland.com/jbuzzw.htmIf i am taking 10mg of Lexapro a day, according to that withdrawal guide, I guess I will cut down to 5mg a day and then maybe go every other day on 5mg to 2.5mg to 0mg. Does that sound correct?
