    Were you prescribed Lexapro for anxiety? I doubt that you are still experiencing withdrawals, but rather possibly the same symptoms that had you put on Lexapro in the first place.

    What does the doctor who prescribed them for you say about this?

    Maybe the counselor you need to keep in contact with, what is their opinion?

    Perhaps there are different medications that they can offer you.. Without knowing WHY you are off the Lexapro,any ideas I could offer can't do much help.

    More information,please.
