Answer #1

I’ve been on Lexapro for a couple of years now too with very good results. I skipped a week one time because I couldn’t afford my meds and had a bad relapse. Please talk to your doctor before you make any changes with your medication. It can cause all sorts of problems. I wish someone had told me.

Answer #2

Please talk this over with your Doctor…He/She is best equipped to give you an accurate answer….I wish you every happiness in your future !
