Whatever you do, do NOT go off escitalopram cold turkey, especially from a high dose! I made that mistake, dropping from 40mg/day to nothing, and suffered hard core from SSRI discontinuation syndrome. It felt like my brain was being electrocuted and I had vertigo and was moody for about a week before I went back to my doctor and got something else to help settle the symptoms down. If you wean yourself off, it should be no problem, just don't stop them altogether! 'Shady

with any perscription that you've been on for a long period of time will pose some withdrawl symptoms but if you ween your self off slowly then you will be fine start by reducing the dosage to 3 quarters the dose this means cutting the pils into quarters and taking 3 of them take it the same amount of times as your suppose to take it do this for about 2 weeks then go down to half a pill for 2 weeks then 1 quarter then once your down to a quarter of a pill and have taken that at the regular intervals reduce the amount of times you take if only once a day then reduce it to every second day then every third day until gradually you don't even need them anymore.... if you do it this way the withdrawls will be minumal.
