PLEASE DON'T GO COLD-TURKEY WITHDRAWAL: DANGER

I'm not on Lexapro - but, sadly I've been on other psych-meds and have gone cold turkey a few times and it was TERRIBLE!!!!

It messes up your mind and body and can be literally dangerous!!!

PLEASE SEE YOUR DOC - ASAP!!!!

YOU do need to see your doctor because your body and mind are in such extremes and you are not taking proper care of yourself.

The Boyfriend is a pain - but he's not the real problem, going off meds this way is the real problem.

Even if you think DOC may be angry go anyway - he'll get over it or you'll get somone else to go to.

I did it because I was embarrassed that I'd used up some medicine too quickly and it was hellaciously bad. another time a doctor got tired of me and just cut me off and it could have caused me severe trouble... JUST PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOU - NO ONE ELSE WILL!

I wish you all the best and hope things get better soonest!!!

Leslie
