Struggling with Lexapro waves

Hi everyone! I’ve just joined this community, and it’s such a relief to know I’m not alone. I wanted to share my experience. Three and a half months ago, I went cold turkey off Lexapro (escitalopram) 10 mg. I know it wasn’t the best way to stop, but that’s how it happened. At first, things were going relatively well, but around the two-month mark, I started experiencing waves and windows. I’ve been going through a wave for the past two weeks, with severe insomnia and a strange feeling of physical discomfort. It’s almost as if something underneath my skin is making me uncomfortable. I also experience sudden waves of anxiety that I’ve never experienced before. I go through periods where I have a few good days, only to relapse again. Right now, I’m in one of those periods where everything feels so heavy. Yesterday, I had an appointment with my psychiatrist, who recommended restarting Lexapro and increasing the dose by 2.5 mg each week until I reach 10 mg. I’m sharing this because I don’t want to feel alone. I’m very confused about whether to go back on the medication or not. Being off Lexapro has also brought some positive changes, such as feeling more motivated in my daily life, but the waves of anxiety can be really intense! Just wanted to share. Thank you for reading. ❤️
