Going Off Lexapro...Lets See What Happens!!       09/21/04 02:55 PM Edit Reply Quote Shell Marr Reged: 08/04/03 Posts: 14959 Loc: Seattle, WA USA I started on 10mg of Lexapro the end of May it took about 2 weeks to get used to it. But I felt so much better.... I also started my new diet (new way of life) and going to the gym at the same time. About a month or so into if I notice the libido issue.... so, Dr cut me back to 5mg per day thinking IF that even helped it would be better then going OFF and trying another since they will ALL effect the libido to some extent.... I did really well on 5mg but the libido is still a MAJOR issue for both Shane & I. Actually I JUST talked to my Dr TODAY on the phone about going off of them to see how I do...thinking HOPEFULLY the new way of life and exercise are REALLY the reason I'm feeling so much better and not the pill. We will see. I will be taking only 5mg Wed, Fri, & Sun and then I will stop and see how I do. If I have tummy issues he wants me to JUMP right back on the 5mg per day. He said it should take about a week for it to be out of my system and IF I'm going to have problems it more then likely would happen within 2-3 weeks. I wanted to do this ASAP so I still have time to start back up if needed BEFORE Fall Sprawl. -------------------- www.facebook.com/shell.marr www.myspace.com/shellmarr Edited by Shell Marr (09/21/04 02:56 PM) Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
