I'd like to start weaning off my anti depressants and was wondering if anyone could provide some advice? I'm aware of the side effects, but want to give it a shot. I'm currently on 10mg of lexapro. Advice would be appreciated

I am on a whole bunch of psych meds, but less than I used to be
The advice I have followed is to decrease slowly in small amounts. Some people do things like dissolve pills and do decreases in really small increments, but I have just dropped down to the next lowest dosage and then stayed at that level for a few weeks. I have not had bad withdrawal. If you want input from people who have had a hard time with withdrawal, you could go to survivingantidepressants.com But only go there if you are willing to take a long time coming off. There are some scary stories on that site. |

I had no problems. Went to 5 mg for four days then stopped.
