does anyone know if an abrupt stop of taking lexapro (anti-depressant, SSRI) will have any affects. such as withdrawal or something. and..also, does anyone know the half life of lexapro. thanks

  #2

I recently stopped taking Lexapro cold turkey. Apparently that was not a bright idea. I have experienced nausea, tiredness, and lots of dizziness. So far these symptoms have lasted a week. I hope that they'll soon subside!

  #3

I stopped taking 10mg lexapro. cold turkey 4 weeks ago I'm still feeling dizzy... :|

  #4

Does Lexapro effect sex?

  #5

I've been off Lexapro cold turkey for 8 weeks and am more dizzy than ever. Have any of you started to notice the side effects going away?

  #6

uh....what do you mean by cold turkey?

  #7

Cold Turkey means that you set a quit date -most of time for quit smoking ,but also for any kind of drugs ,etc -and stop completely on that date.Is it right guys :oops:

withdrawal of SSRIs causes nausea vertigo dizziness headache and malaise.
SSRIs are known to sometimes cause sexual dysfunction(anorgasmia)...
their withdrawal doesnt cause any sexual dysfunctions...as far as i know.....
