I’m coming off Lexapro in the hope that it might help with my weight. (I suspect it’s either the lithium or Latuda, but I need those more than an SSRI). 

I’ve been tapering slowly under supervision from my psychiatrist. This is the first week I’m fully off, and it’s been rough. I have flu symptoms, brain zaps, and general nausea. 

Has anyone found anything that helps? Or even just a kind word. I’ve told a few people I’m close to, but I don’t think they know/care how bad I feel.
