Hi Maebae, and welcome! Nice to have you here. So you were originally on Lexapro and tried bridging onto Prozac, but now you're bridging back onto Lexapro? I hope I'm understanding that correctly.
Were you attempting to bridge onto Prozac because of negative side effects of the Lexapro? I'd like to hear more about your history.
Is your goal to eventually get off psychiatric drugs? How have you been feeling?

Welcome to the community, Maebae.
It looks like you've tapered off Prozac completely, but reinstated Lexapro to help with the withdrawal of Prozac? Are you wanting to now taper off Lexapro? Let us know how we can help 🙂
