I have been on 10mg Lexapro for 12 days and it has helped but its KILLING my stomach to the point of not being able to eat. I was worried about weight gain with this but with the way my stomach is after I eat I don't know how I could have gained anything. I know it hasn't been long enough but its very bad so I might just have to another kind of medicine. My question is since its only been 12 days can I just go cold turkey???

If you want to feel like garbage, go ahead. I'd really talk to a doctor and see if you could taper down off one and then go onto a new one so that the withdrawals are minimal.

I agree with stressedteacher

Even after 12 days in a row, cold turkey is still not a good idea. Try 1 day with, one day without, and go from there. Good Luck.

After 12 days I think you can stop cold turkey. In the past I have stopped ADs after a year or so without tapering with no ill effects. Of course, I know "everyone is different." I doubt your doctor would have you taper from 12 days at 10 mg. Hope you feel better

I know it's not good idea, but I had stopped Lex cold turkey a few years ago, and I had no side effects at all. I would still ween off of it.
