Deciding to wean off Lexapro
May 12th, 2007 by Michelle
Well..I decided I may decide to wean off or at least break my Lexapro tabs in half. The Pills are over $80 and when I look back to a time before I started taking Lexapro my life has kinda been unproductive and “flat”. I was very lucky that I didn’t have too severe withdrawal from Paxil so I am hoping that this will not be bad either. Right now I take only 0.25 mg of Alprazolam usually at night or if I am having a bad panic attack.
I feel pretty good today only taking 1/2 tablet last night..nothing different than any other day. When I think back over the years I been on anti-depressants My depression really hasn’t changed that much. My panic attacks have been less, I still have them but not to the degree I used to, I guess deep down I realize that if I am still alive after some serious panic attacks I will still be here with the next one. Panic attacks suck and are uncomfortable but the eventually end. I want to find a more natural way of controlling my depression and anxiety. I figure if I can’t do it, I will just need to find a way to pay for meds. I at least want to give it a try.
On a separate note, I signed up for school to finish my bachelors in Information Systems so lets hope this time everything works out to where I can finish. It will be hard working full time, but at least I will have the knowledge and degree to make a living where I dont have to worry about money so much, at least thats my goal.
