Quitting Lexapro Success Stories

In a case I heard, a man quit Lexapro. He was on a relatively high dose initially. His doctor slowly reduced the dose over a period of months. He experienced some insomnia during the quitting process. However, he adjusted his bedtime routine, like avoiding screens before bed and reading calming books. He also started jogging in the morning. This combination of medical guidance, lifestyle changes, and self - care helped him successfully quit Lexapro.

I successfully tapered off Lexapro. I just did it very slowly, following my doctor's orders. It was not without some minor side effects like a bit of brain fog in the beginning, but they went away quickly. I'm now living a normal life without relying on Lexapro.

My own experience getting off Lexapro was a journey. I first made sure I was in a stable mental state. I then started tapering off gradually. I was very vigilant about any changes in my mood. I also practiced relaxation techniques such as meditation. I had some brain zaps initially, but I didn't let that discourage me. I kept communicating with my doctor. Eventually, I got off Lexapro completely and have been maintaining my mental well - being through positive thinking and a balanced lifestyle.

One success story is about my friend. She was suffering from depression for a long time. When she started taking Lexapro 20 mg, it took some time for the full effects to kick in. But gradually, she regained her interest in things she used to love, like painting. Her energy levels increased, and she no longer had those bouts of extreme sadness. Lexapro 20 mg really helped her turn her life around and get back to being the happy person she once was.

I was on Lexapro for a year. When I decided to get off it, I did it very gradually under my doctor's supervision. I started by reducing my dose every two weeks. I had some minor withdrawal symptoms like dizziness at first, but they were short - lived. Now, a few months after completely stopping, I feel great. I'm back to my normal self, sleeping well and my mood is stable without the need for the medication.

My own experience with Lexapro 20 mg was a success. I had problems with panic attacks. They were really debilitating. Once I started on Lexapro 20 mg, the frequency of my panic attacks decreased. It gave me the confidence to go out and do things again, like going to the grocery store or meeting friends. It was a huge relief.

One person had been on the verge of losing their job due to their inability to focus because of depression. After starting Lexapro, they regained their focus and were able to perform well at work again. They are now in a much better position at their job.

I've been on Lexapro 10 mg for a few months now. It really helped with my anxiety. Before starting it, I was constantly on edge, had trouble sleeping, and was overly worried about everything. But after a couple of weeks on Lexapro, I noticed a significant reduction in my anxiety levels. I can now focus better at work and enjoy my free time without that nagging sense of worry all the time.

One success story is of a person who followed a strict taper schedule under medical supervision. They started with a high dose of methadone and gradually reduced it over several months. Alongside the taper, they engaged in regular exercise, which helped with the physical and mental discomfort. They also had a strong support system of family and friends who were there for them during the tough times.

Samantha was hooked on opioids. Her journey to quit was filled with ups and downs. She first tried to quit on her own but relapsed. Then she found a good doctor who prescribed medications to ease her withdrawal symptoms and also referred her to a 12 - step program. In the program, she made friends who held her accountable. It took time, but she finally achieved success in quitting drugs.
