I'm not going to start taking it again because I believe it's in my best interest not to.
I looked it up and I think what I'm going thru is called "brain shivers"

Hey! I didnt read through all the posts but all I keep thinking is Oh my GOODNESS! Your doctor didnt tell you to taper off? I have been on antidepressants for 6 years, ever since our house burnt down, then I had to start back after I lost a child. I have been on lexapro since Bryson has been born. He is almost 4. It seems to work better than anything else Ive tried. But lately I have been wanting to try to taper down on it. So I have gone from 20 mg to 10mg. I am even having withdrawal symptoms from going down that little amount. I seem to be SO SO SO moody and am trying my best not to be. Good luck, keep us updated!
