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

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!

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?

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.....
