This post is half DAE and half advice solicitation.

because of several weeks of bad weather I ran out of Lexapro.  I have a fairly small dose but I've been on for about 2 years. I've been thinking about trying to go off of it for a while now and when I ran out it seemed like a good time to see what happened.

So far the experience hasn't been too terrible. I expected to feel somewhat differently but because it was a low dose I didn't expect the change to be as abrupt or his noticeable as it has been.

I've had a fair bit of nervous energy. Like I'm vibrating under my skin. also a lot of the tingling sensation all over my body that I had before I went on it. Have definitely been easier to startle.

it hasn't been significantly interfering with my life like it had before but I can definitely tell the difference.

So I guess my real question/point of posting is when you went off Lexapro is this how you felt? Did your symptoms return quickly? Also, if you remained off of it how did you cope with some of those physical symptoms that I described?

Also did you decide to stay off of it or did you decide to go back on? How did you make that decision?

Thank you all for your opinions and advice.
