Lexapro detox is bad news. It is long, hard and painful. There seems to be an endless list of symptoms, including losing my thinking skills. Today, I am just doing a list of the symptoms I have or am experiencing so far:
- nausea
- gastro
- metallic taste
- headache, including sensitivity to light and to sound
- insomnia
- vivid, recurring nightmares (they are so vivid, I have difficulty distinguishing some of them from memories)
- recurring thoughts
- lack of co-ordination (last night I had a terrible time spooning the rice from the casserole dish onto the plates)
- flu symptoms
- exhaustion
- aches
- anxiety regarding safety and irrational fears (for example, scared to leave the house after dark)
- rage (scary, incontrollable, volatile rage)
- migraine style pain
- low idiot-tolerance
- visual and audial disturbances
- inability to concentrate
- inability to complete complex tasks
- inability to multi-task
- inability to remember what is happening or what I was up to
I am also concerned about my little F1. Here are some symptoms that I have observed in her:
- falling down
- insomnia
- clingy
- loss of appetite
- teary-ness
- highly strung
- insecurity
