Good for you. I was on this last year and although it helped me "even out" at first, I just was so passionless about everything...including you know what.
When I went off, I had serious vertigo which lasted about a week. Was still able to work and stuff, it just felt a little like being drunk.
You will be amazed at how you feel once you are off. I enjoyed feeling the full brunt of both happiness and anger, two emotions I had sort of lost on the pill.

You know I had the same problem (low libido) with Lexapro. I'm at 20mg. Six months now...but when I spoke with my doctor, she had me start Wellbutrin (150mg) with Lexapro. For some people Wellbutrin increases your sexual libido. For me it actually made it go back to normal. You may want to ask your doctor about Wellbutrin.

Yeah, I hear ya.... it felt odd sometimes...I would notice that if certain things happened 6 months ago I would be freaking out... yet, I was so calm.

Oh... I've never hear of that one.
Hum... I see my Dr again the end of Oct but I can always call him. As of now...I'm doing ok without any AD at all.... and my sex drive is slowly coming back  as he told me it would. I was only taking 5mg Lexapro for about 1-1/2 to 2 months....and he really did not think that me going off it would cause a problem.
HE is convinced that my change in diet & exercise are the real reason I started feeling so good IBS wise. See I started taking Lexapro about 3-4 days after I started at the gym.... so it is hard to really tell if it was the pills that were helping.... so due to low sex drive I decreased from 10mg ot 5mg but I felt no difference.
So, we are both hoping that I don't really need an AD!!  BUT, I'm NOT agaist going back on one in adition to other sex drive assistance if my tummy gets grumpy again. I'll give it a good month to let me body adjust.
Thanks everyone for there imput!!
p.s. off to work, no time to spell check...LOL

I've been off Lexapro 100% for about 5 weeks now.... I feel great and my sex drive has FINALLY returned 100% .... it did take some time for that to happen.
