I just started valdoxan three days ago after weaning off of Lexapro which I’d been taking for around two years for my depression and OCD. Lexapro wasn’t working for me anymore and my Dr recommended I try a different route.

The weaning became very tough and in the last week where I was taking 10mg Lexapro one day on and one day off I was experiencing nausea, dizziness crazy brain zaps and absolute emotional turmoil—crying spells, anxiety etc..

I’ve finally begun valdoxan but am still suffering from side effects of the last week.

Did anyone else have withdrawal effects after weaning from another SSRI/SSNRI and how long did they last? I’m seriously in the trenches
