Unless the 5 mg isn't working as effectively, and that's as good as a

withdrawal. I confess I don't know.

well, i looked up the picture of lexapro on the web and it is the

same... funny how i could take something everyday and when questioned

about it not be exactly sure what it looks like!

im having a hard time concentrating, but i have read some posts now,

and it seems like maybe something similar to this happens around 1

month? or is what i am reading that depression and anxiety sypmtoms

are returning for others?

i dont feel any different in that way... and it has been years for

me...

just the awful withdrawl " head stuff " ... for no reason!

just a note towards the positive... i suffered from overwhelming

anxiety attacks when i was about 18 - 23. house bound most of the

time... there came a point where i said " ENOUGH " ... and went out and

did everything i was scared of 1 step at a time... maybe that will

brighten some spirits it was the getting mad... so mad that

everything was taken from me that i didnt care anymore... where

something just clicked in my head that said " i AM going to beat this

or die trying! "

unfortunately... at that point, i was addicted to the medication...

which of course nobody mentioned to me throughout the years...

well, if anybody knows anything, please post it for me!

thanks!
