What can help lexapro (escitalopram) withdrawals ie extremely bad moods and irritability?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tapering: Tapering the withdrawal appears to be the best method to avoid these effects. However, if they still persist, you may need to continue an antidepressant. Because everyone's chemistry is unique, it is best to consult with your prescribing physician about these issues.
