After reading way too many horror stories about stopping Lexapro...I've decided to start tapering off. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to reduce any bad side effects?
I'm very open to holistic treatments, so any vitamin/mineral suggestions to help me though it would be great. I currently take a vitamin B complex, about 150mg Magnesium and 25 mg of zinc everyday along with my 10mg of Lexapro. I want to try and start taking 7.5mg next.
I was put on Lex about 4 or 5 months ago for GAD and panic attacks. I'm in a lot better mind-set now, and I am pretty sure it was just a phase that my parents, my doctor, and I overreacted to. I feel like I took the easy way out and don't want to be stuck on this pill for the rest of my life. Hopefully I haven't been taking it long enough for the taper-down to be too bad.
