Obligatory warning that SSRI withdrawals can be extremely dangerous.

I was on Lexapro for a minute. It worked for a bit, but then I started to not care about anything. A certain amount of anxiety/emotional swing is important for my humanity, as I found out. I really wanted to get off that stuff. But my doctor insisted that I ween off of it by reducing my dosage over a period of 2 months. I'm glad I listened. I could acutely feel each reduction.
