Lexapro withdrawl.

[mommabear]

I haven't taken my Lexapro (10mg) in 5 days. I know you shouldn't stop like that, but I have no choice right now. I'm not feeling that great. I'm very emotional, brain zaps, just overall feel like 0103. How long can I expect this to last? I'm at my wits end with everything..

Unfortunately, this a 'how long is a piece of string' question. It all depends on your individual biology, but most of the symptoms should begin diminishing after 2 weeks or so from when the drug is stopped. The brain zaps may be the last to stop.
