Weaning off Lexapro for about 2 months now after taking it for 3 years. Went to every other day with a full pill, now down to every other day with 1/2 pill. I have experienced several unpleasant side effects. Most unusual, my breasts are very sore and barely touching them is painful. Anyone else experiencing this problem as well? How long will this last? Please let me know that I'm not the only one, I haven't read about this side effect.

Hello,

I have been on lexapro for 6 years and am trying to wean off of it.....1/2 tablet from 1 every day. My breast hurt, so i wear a sport bra alot even to bed. Other symptoms are, flu like feeling, headache, tired, nausea and even got a period(Havent had one for about 6 months)...vivid dreams, terrible sweats, hot and cold. It has been a week now, The one positive effect is that my emotions are coming back....I cant wait to get over this and be me again!!!
