I had been on lexapro for about 6 years. Over the past years I’ve tapered off of it, and officially stopped taking it two months ago.
I had a few really hard times each time I went down 5mg, but generally was able to bounce back pretty fast. And felt myself becoming more engaged with my family and generally happier (less dull).
Now the issue I’m having is just suddenly unexplainable outbursts. Crying over very little thing- or even nothing at all.
Shit writing this i have some tears. I know this upsets me but man it just feels like too much. I don’t even think I feel super sad about it right now, but I can’t control my crying.
This mainly is on my mind because the other day there was a scheduling issue with my work that I wasn’t aware of until I was there. In which I had tell them I needed a minute and proceeded to sit in my car, on the phone with my mom, and cry for 40 minutes.
I’m not sure if I need to talk about going back onto lexapro or what?? I guess I’m looking for others to say this is normal, or advice if I should go talk to my doctor.
TL;DR I’ve been feeling uncontrollably emotional about things lately. And I’m not sure if I need to start my medicine or if this is normal after stopping SSRIs months after
