I’ve been on lexapro for about a year now for generalized anxiety and panic attacks. Started off on 5mg but increased to 10 and I’ve been on that for about six months. I’m feeling great and I feel like I finally got my life back, but when I checked up with my psychiatrist and she mentioned to possibly lower my dose since I’ve been doing so well, it freaked me out. How do I know when the right time is? I know there’s no right answer, but I’m wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and reacted positively to lowering their meds. I’m not really in a rush to start experimenting, but is it normal to taper off medicine that quickly after starting it? I don’t want to be dependent on medicine forever, but this is the most in control of my life I’ve ever felt.
