Will I Get Side Effects?
Hello,
I was taking this medication called Lexapro. Well, I stopped cold turkey. What I want to know is if I will have/get side effects.

Hi Manda,

I need to know how much you were taking and how long you were taking it. When did you stop cold turkey and why?

After I know this, I'll have a better idea whether or not you may have side effects.

Same girl from last time? Sweet, I have answered over 16 thousand posts, it's hard for me to remember.

You took 10mg of Lexapro? For how long? When did you stop?

Manda,

I asked you a few questions. How long were you taking it? Why did you stop?

Now, answer each one of those please so we can get down to the answers.

Lexapro withdrawal. Lexapro withdrawal side effects, Lexapro withdrawal solutions.

This is a long site giving the withdrawl symptoms. You did not state why you were taking this in the first place, but your answer should be found on this site.

Glad you stopped it Manda dear. That stuff is not for everyone as it can cause some nasty side effects.
