Well I did it. I went and saw my GP to discuss my fears about the medication. I started simple – with the glaucoma thing. That was enough to put him off it, even without my other concerns, especially as my brother was relatively young when he was diagnosed.
After a lot of discussion about how I was going with the detox, we have made a bold decision. He thinks a lot of the agitation and, um, Madame Cranky Pants-ness (to put it politely) is due to the withdrawal from Lexapro – as in actual withdrawal symptoms, not life without it.
So… I am off the meds for the time being.
