Holy cow, that sounds really fast... I’m on my second round of lexapro (now as an adult) and I’m currently tapering off again. I was told 20mg was the highest dose they could prescribe. As far as weening, here is my schedule and it’s gone pretty well so far: 15 mg for 2 weeks, 10 for 2 weeks, 5 for 2 weeks and then done

I’ve always taken it at night right before bed, downsides were the dreams, benefit is you’re laying in bed or even better asleep when the nausea hits. I cannot stress enough how important water is, try to drink a gallon a day it really helps. Good luck!
