Thank you SO much for writing back. Boy, what a difference a day makes! I am doing better today. I put myself to bed early last night. I went to the gym this morning, and that helped. I am really working on changing my fearful thinking.

I went off the Lexapro fairly quickly. I think it took me about five weeks, total. I cut the dose in half, then went to every other day, then to every second day. Finally I stopped. The withdrawal wasn't great, but it was nowhere near as bad as when I took Paxil. I was on that for six months before the Lexapro. That's why I'm resonating with your rebound theory. I was off that for about three months, and I felt so lousy that I started on the Lexapro. Now I've been off the Lexapro for three months, and same thing... I refuse to go back on an SSRI.

Thanks again for your help, and for all of your knowledge. I'm learning a lot from you.
