Lexapro Discontinuation Schedule

Cliona99 · 2012-02-23 11:33:28

Okay, I am absolutely not looking for medical advice, just general information. Is there a standardised way of coming off Lexapro? (or SSRIs in gereral? I'm assuming though that it differs for different medications). Or does it depend on the doctor/patient/dose? Thanks!

There's no standard way it does depend on the patient, duration of treatment, dose and diagnosis.
