I don't think this is a great time for my doctor to tell me to stop my Lexapro. My depression and anxiety from the shit that been going on lately in the world is making me feel like crap, uncontrolled crying, and bad thought. One good thing is my legs are less restless at bedtime
I also get restless legs from Lexapro but found the downside from coming off of it truly hideous. Like you I was hit by an emotional wave. My heart goes out to you
