Coming off (Cipralex) Escitalopram

[tara]

I was told to come off these gradually..one every other day for a week...then one every other other for the next week and so on. You do seem to be coping well though with the way your doctor has told you hope it continues!! Let us know

Been off escitalopram for five days. Just stopped taking them, no gradual reduction. Was on 20mg. Been taking them for 18months. Feel full of energy, sleeping well, just the odd little electric shock feeling. Must be the right time for me. So glad i have done it as i was tired all the time and putting on weight. Tried a while ago and just got really weepy. Best of luck x

For god's sake don't stop em' suddenly!

For god's sake don't stop cipralex suddenly without your doc's advice!

I was on 10mg for 5 years and took myself off by only taking one every second day for 2 weeks then went cold turkey.
Had head zaps for a week or 2 but apart from that was fine.
Good luck with it
