I have stopped taking Lexapro after having taken it for two years. Before taking that I was on Zoloft for many years. This is the second full week off Lexapro and I am having trouble thinking and comprehending. I don't want to get back on it due to the fact that it makes me want to sleep all of the time. What should I do to have an easier withdrawal time?

Did you gradually reduce your dose, or did you just stop cold-turkey?

Let me know, and I'll get back to you.
