> Is it difficult to go off of Lexapro? I want to and am very afraid of the withdrawal effects.
As is the case with many other drugs, both psychiatric and non-psychiatric, a gradual taper (slow removal) of the drug can minimize the withdrawal effects of its discontinuation. There are several ideas offered on the Psycho-Babble Withdrawal board that you might find helpful. I prefer the flexible-dosing strategy. Others suggest switching temporarily to a drug with a long half-life like Prozac.
It is possible to discontinue these medications without suffering intense withdrawal effects.
