[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dr. Rigid says that Lexapro's half-life is too long to promote withdrawal symptoms. Fatigue and lack of appetite are, in his words, a return of depression. I feel sorry for his other patients who might never get off their meds. I spoke to another psychiatrist on the phone last night, and his recommendation for a taper was even slower and more cautious than my ideas. Dr. Rigid thinks that 5 mg of Lexapro is only a placebo, and therefore, useless.[/quote] Sounds off to me. Have worked some with drug addicts, who typically report going off heroin is much easier than going off methadone, which has a half life of two weeks compared to two or three days for heroin. But I am not expert in this.[/quote]
