go to your pharmacist to learn about the drugs you are taking not physicians. physicians only receive a few hours of pharmacology education. they get their education from the pharm reps who you see sitting in their offices waiting to see them. pretty scary but true.
lexapro withdrawl? . so i've been taking lexapro for many years and have finally tapered down to 5mg this year. i started taking the 5mg a little over 2 months ago. last week i quit taking the 5mg and began having some stomach/intestinal problems (abdominal pain and some diarrhea). my diet has not changed so i was wondering if i could be experiencing some minor lexapro withdrawal even though i tapered off? . ive been taking the medication for 7 years and began tapering 2 years ago so i haven't rushed tapering off.
