"i have only been on this medicine for 1 week. still on 10mg. went cold turkey off 30mg of lexapro. not seeing a big difference yet in the depression but after going off the high dose of lexapro i expect to not see a difference in my depression yet. what i wanted to share was that i have itching skin. i just want to scratch and scratch. i&#039;m sure it will go away. i&#039;m hoping to have wonderful news on my next post regarding the depression and hopefully some weight loss too."
