I've been on Lexapro 10mg for almost 3 years and decided to wean off due to apathy and emotional numbness. I felt like it was making me feel bleh and I just wanted to feel something again. I love my life and am generally really happy with what I've built for myself.
I dropped from 10mg to 7.5mg, and within 3 days got hit with severe migraines, nausea, intense waves of anxiety and severe depression. It's been 11 days and I'm having moments where I can't stop crying, feel extremely depressed/can't get out of bed, have no motivation to do anything. It's extremely difficult and I can't live like this.
I'm wondering if I'm relapsing or is this normal? I keep reading about acute phases of withdrawal but I'm worried I'm relapsing. I just need to know it gets better, this is awful.
