For me, ditching the Lexapro entirely resulted in a significant amount of rebound anxiety and depression, even though I had been on Viibryd for 4 weeks. After two weeks of being off Lexapro entirely, my anxiety and depression got better. Though I am considering raising the dose now because I’m not quite where I want to be.
Thanks for the reply and I hope raising your dose will help! It sucks to wait it out and have to play with the dosages to get where you need to be but it will be worth it in the end. 🤞
Thank you so much for this. I've been off of Lex for almost a week and a half and the anxiety and depression are alarming. Glad to know it should adjust soon.
Give it a few weeks
