[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 174626, member: 1498"] She's completely off the Lexapro and now they're taking her off the Trazadone? In how short a time? A week? Did anyone tell you that discontinuing antidepressants can cause mood swings and emotional lability as a side effect? These aren't problems associated with the reason the person is taking the AD, it's because of the AD. Acute withdrawal lasts about two weeks. But for some people the discontinuation problems can last months. You might want to google "SSRI withdrawal" or "Lexapro withdrawal". The unfortuante situation is that these drugs should really be stopped quite slowly, over weeks or months. And most of them should be started just as slowly. (Considering many of these drugs take 2, 4, 8 weeks to become therapeutic, I can't help wondering if some people would do as well or better on their medications at half the doses.) It's virtually impossible to sort out withdrawal issues from disorder issues while in the process of removing an antidepressant. [/QUOTE]
