Work w/your doctor: Please discuss your plans with your doctor, and make sure the symptoms for which Lexapro (escitalopram) was prescribed, are now stable. If they are, your doctor can consider if it's wise to taper at this time -- and work with you on a schedule to accomplish it. Be well.

Lexapro (escitalopram): That is a low dose. With your doctor's permission, start with half a pill daily for 4-7 days, then every other day for another week.
