Hi @Heis3nberg, welcome! I'm sure you'll get the information you need to successfully get off the Lexapro this time. If you're not familiar with Hyperbolic tapering, you can learn about it in the Resources section. Take things nice and slow and hold your reductions when necessary. You don't want to push through symptoms. Here are some links to get you started: https://taper.community/drugs/lexapro https://taper.community/resources/blog/how-to-taper-off-lexapro https://taper.community/thread/d41182b4-060b-4c2e-a1e8-da9e6777d7e5 We look forward to supporting you on your tapering journey! Catina ❤️

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 17.92 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Levothyroxine - 25 mcg
