I was tapering off of 10mg of Lexapro. I'd made it to taking 5mg every day. The next step was to take 5mg every other day and then stop taking it altogether.
decrease Lexapro to 5mg and take 5mg alone for two days after those two days on 5mg, add Zoloft 25mg and take both for three days, then stop Lexapro increase Zoloft to 50mg two days after stopping Lexapro completely. I'll be seeing my doc shortly thereafter to plan gradually going up to my previous Zoloft dose of 100mg.

I'm switching from 5mg of lexapro (escitalopram) to 20mg of prozac. dr told me to take both the lexapro (escitalopram) and prozac together for a week, then stop the lexapro (escitalopram).

Does stopping Lexapro 5mg after 5 days cause side effects? Updated 2 answers I have been on Lexapro for 16 days (5mg for 12 days and 10mg for the last 4 days).

I tried to go completely clean 2.5 years after I stopped drinking/drugging so I stopped my Lexapro. She was taking only 5mg of Lexapro a day.
I grant that the effect is real, as many women on Lexapro have found, but its administration has to be subtle.
