Thank you! I have been holding now for almost 2 months. Maybe I will wait a little longer. I do not feel any stabilization yet, but maybe I should just be more patient. It is so hard to know. I want to go to zero, to be finally able to really stabilize. But I also know that slower is better...

wishing you all the best for your journey, @Saturn468 ! Morning activation sounds awful.

Thank you @Nemina , best of luck to you too as you finish your tapering process. My hope is that you’re going to feel a lot better once you are off the medication completely. I will be very very happy for you and insanely jealous!

Currently tapering from 20mg Lexapro.
