Mariposa is right, do NOT stop cold turkey...you need to taper slowly, and your doc should know this...talk to the doc about a tapering schedule and if you can't get one out of that doc go see another one..

> > My dr said to stop 20mg of lexapro but he did not say if I should taper off and I cannot reach. Does anyone know if I can just stop it or if I wean. I have heard of horrible effects from stopping paxil abruptly and would like to know if this is the same. Thanks
