The Windows and Waves Pattern of Stabilization
Jakeblack14 replied to Healing's topic in Symptoms and self-care
Hello everyone, I am trying to fish for some information as to if anyone finds that some waves come and are really light and some come and are almost unbearable. Wondering if anyone has seen a pattern in tapering Lexapro and if they seem to have heavy waves hit even later down the road in the tapering process. I personally have been holding at 5mg for the past month or so and in that time span I have had 3 waves. The first lasted about 1 week and was really intense. (unable to eat, sleep, anxiousness, almost bed ridden). The second lasted about 3 days and was really uncomfortable. (Hard to eat, little bits of insomnia, stomach issues). The last and most recent I am still in and it has been about 4 days of the intense version. Any insights or patterns or general advise would be wonderful. Thanks -
psjandchocolate: Extreme Anger During Taper From Lexapro?
pjsandchocolate posted a topic in Introductions and updates
I started tapering off my Lexapro (20 mgs) in mid-December. About halfway through my tapering off from Lexapro a few weeks ago, I noticed that I was getting *very* angry within a few hours of taking it. I suppose I am an angry person by nature and having 5 y.o. twins with a mostly absent father isn't helping things. But I noticed that when I didn't take the Lexapro, I was more easily able to control my temper. As I said, I have young twins, so I had to stop the taper halfway through my plan and go cold turkey off the Lexapro because things were getting too intense with the kids. I've been off the Lex completely for a week and it's noticeably easier to control my rage (except for being exhausted from a viral infection with no rest breaks). Has anyone else noticed that problem when tapering off of Lexapro? It's hard to find a *good* list of examples of what one can expect from tapering off of various meds and what folks do to work through them.
