A member asked:
Was on lexapro 10mg since may, but i have been on 5mg for weeks & have stopped taking it altogether for a couple of days now, can i get withdrawal symptoms? ive been having gas pains every day also diarrhea & nausea could it be from lexapro?

Lexapro: Given you have only been taking 5 mg and have already not been taking for a couple of days it should not be an issue to stop. I would expect the GI symtpoms to improve in a week. IF worse or fever you should be seen.
