So I'd have to come off my Lexapro, wouldn't I?

No you wouldn't have to come off the Lexapro. For many people, being on an antidepressant makes it possible for them to get something out of therapy. You will learn stuff that will help you while you are on the meds that will also help you if you decide to drop the Lexapro.
