Talk to doctor: You do not want to abruptly stop lexapro (escitalopram). Also, you may be completely asymptomatic BECAUSE you are on lexapro (escitalopram). Stopping it may cause depression symptoms to return.

Am not familiar: with dosages that low of lexapro (escitalopram). Please let the prescribing provider know before discontinuing. Take care.

Antidepressants: You are taking a very small dose of lexapro (escitalopram) which I am not sure it even exists. You need to clarify your dose and discuss your prescriber the best way and even when to stop the medication.
