I'm having a rough day today coming off of the Lexapro. I'm still so very dizzy and now today the mood swings have hit hard. I was getting groceries with my husband and daughter and had a terrible panic attack. I'm feeling much better but it took more than a few hours to calm down.

The last two days of this week have ranked right up there with my first few days in the hospital when I was full of frustration and emotion. Even now I can hardly write about it without weeping. (I am not a crier -- and I've cried more in the past three weeks than I think I have combined in all of my life!)
