Hi....this is an old thread, is anyone here?

This was SUCH a good read for me today! I went off Lexapro (10 mg/daily) cold-turkey 2 weeks ago. I ran out...it seemed like it had stopped working anyway, I've gained an obscene amount of weight (which made me HATE myself) and just didn't want to take them anymore! So, right or wrong, I did it; perhaps it gave me a little feeling of control. NOW...I feel pretty good, I'm losing weight....but cannot sleep well and OH, so those are brain zaps, eh? Whoaaa, I've felt like Frances Farmer (okay, that's mean) and/or like I'm becoming senile!!!

As I said, it's been 2 weeks...am I in any danger? Any ideas as to how long this will continue, and/or if there's anything I can do to help this "detoxing" along?

Thank you all so very much....hoping to hear a response.
