How do i cut down on lexapro?!


Question: How do i cut down on lexapro!?
I started cutting down on lexapro and started feeling dizziness and unbalance!. How can i get off it without having those effectsWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
When I got off Lexapro, I got down to the 5mg pills (reduce the dosages one step at a time, say 20mg for a week or two, then 10mg for a week or two, then down to 5mg) and took them for two weeks, then cut them in half (use a pill cutter for that) and took the half pills for a week, then every other day for a week!. Yes, the withdrawals are not pleasant - but this is about the most gradual way you can do it!. You may add an extra step to take the half pill every two days - if you feel you need to!.

Congratulations for getting off them - and the best of luck to you!Www@Answer-Health@Com
