"i started taking lexapro after years of anxiety and constant feelings of doom and gloom, it came to a head about 4 years ago and i was seriously considering suicide, anyway i started going to counseling and taking 20 gms of lexapro, i worked my way through it and about 2 months ago went cold turkey after cutting down to 10 mg for about 6 months. i got bad head spins and felt really tired but i&#039;m coming good now, the interesting thing is that while i was on lexapro my craving for beer went through the roof and i went from two stubbies a day to sometimes 20 and couldn&#039;t get enough. i lived for beer, now i&#039;m off 
lexapro i have lost that craving and the beer actually tastes bad so all good. i wonder now whether lexapro was really doing anything"
