I have been on 20mg of lexapro for about 4 months. It worked great for about 3 months, the I began feeling shaky and out of it all the time. It felt like too much. My doc wants me to ween down to 10mg. I reduced to 17.5 for 10 days and felt great. Then reduced to 15mg and after about 4 days began to feel like I was in a fog, irritable and unable to get excited about anything. Worse than it ever has been. Is this withdrawal symptoms?

Is it possible you need a higher dose than 20mg?

Probably as was messing with my low dose and had upped it for two days and first day felt better today feel miserable so will cut again. This didn't happen when I started this med. They are stronger than I though. Phillipa
