Hi Marty,

As one who has suffered adverse effects from psych meds and who is tapering off of them slowly, I understand your desire to get off of Lexapro.

But in my opinion, you are making a serious mistake cold turkeying the med.

Since it comes in liquid form, I would taper it at 10% of current dose every 3 to 6 weeks. Yes, that is slow but you will still notice the swelling do down in your legs. Also, your qualify of life will be alot better and you won't be putting yourself at risk for numerous health problems by cold turkeying a med.
