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 you may have side effects.

I am the same girl from last time. I took 10mg, and Lexapro!

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?

A couple days ago.

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.

I took it for about... 6 weeks, and I got off it a couple of days ago.

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.

Oh, I stopped because it was making my deppression worse/ sucidal thoughts.

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

Does your doctor know you stopped taking it?
