Hi BRC. Sorry for the delay in my response. I was away for the weekend.
To answer your question about the withdrawal symptoms. The main symptom was a shocking feeling in my abdomen which caused my whole body to shake. I was also having a hard time keeping my stress under control. One minute i'd be fine and the next i'd be in a state of panic. There wasn't even a reason to be stressed. I also felt really depressed on and off. I had times where I felt really hopeless and couldn't help but cry. These only lasted a few days then I went back on my normal dose again till I figure a better way out of withdrawing.
Lexapro did help me more than any other SSRI and i've taken quite a few. The problem is the few side effects that I get from being on it are not worth it and i've decided to try another med in hopes of losing the side effects. I have another thread on the board which decribes the main reasons for stopping if you missed it.
