Is Lexapro addictive ?

[WestConner]

I wouldn't say it is addictive but there will probably by withdrawal effects when you decide to stop taking it. You may also get some effects when you first start taking it that usually go away after a couple days.

[SnarfBanks]

what happens when you quit abruptly after a few weeks of taking the drug?

[WestConner]

It really depends on the person. I have found in practice that the people who don't feel much of a difference on the medication have the easiest time coming off. Those who say they are having a lot of side effects have the hardest time. I wish there was a better answer but that's about it.

[SnarfBanks]

can it have permanent affects on your brain after after two and a half weeks, and is it appropriate to quit cold turkey after two and a half weeks, or do you have to ween yourself off of that too?

[WestConner]

I highly doubt any permanent affects. I depends on the person as far as the withdrawal symptoms, if any, or if you have to wean yourself off. Check with your doctor and follow his/her advice. Just say you do not want to take the medication any more.

I quit taking it 3 days ago and it feels like my brain is spinning around in my skull

I would quit drinking all together. it makes you damn near unconscious after a few beers.

When I was on Lexapro the blood flow to my reproductive system seemed to shut off! It was terrifying!

im 16 and im taking lexapro. its fine with me. i take one half tab before bedtime. and it helps. ask your doc if she's getting the right dosage. i used to take one half of 100 mg seroquel and i felt like a bastard,i told my shrink and she decreased the dosage to 26 mg. and im feeling fine now. discuss some of those bad feeling matters to your doc, so that she can decrease the dosage or change the meds. its necessary if lexapro isnt working well

Thanks

My girlfriend, who was given Lexapro and she's only 15..., was REALLY messed-up after taking it. From what I've read, Lexapro is not even approved for people under 18; is this correct? Well, at any rate, their doctor told her that she would be fine because "she's fully grown and full developed."

Alright, to me, this makes no sense; your brain matures -- YOU mature -- a lot more from 15-18. Whatever, she still got REALLY sick from it :(

Before anyone jumps me for this, I'm 15 too :)
