Any experiences decreasing dosage?
There are tons of stories going from 5-10mg, but I don't see many about going from 10-5mg, and am curious about peoples experiences, even at different dosage changes.
I have felt depressive symptoms return and just overall flatness and less excitement in things, less appreciation for things. I think in the few months I was on 5mg, 90% of my depressive symptoms were gone.
A lot of my anxieties are under much better control now, and I think it would be a good step to take, lower dosage and learn how to manage it again. I would like to one day be able to come off of medication, my anxieties that caused me to get on medication were a one off thing that flared up due to an event, but my depression is always persistent. if anything, I would like to come of Lexapro someday and try Prozac.
But I digress, any experiences decreasing the medication? What should I expect?
