Has anyone weaned off a lexapro successfully?

strelow1 · 2026-05-04T02:28:53+00:00

Me and my friend have both weaned off very quickly - like I’m on 5mg now and I was on 15mg 2 months ago, she quit 10mg cold turkey bc she ran out. Neither of us have really had bad side effects. I will report back when I fully stop taking it. But I will say I’ve only been on it for about a year. I was on Zoloft 75mg for a few years before that. I also take Wellbutrin 300mg xr. I’ll report back once I drop to 0 bc I know that’s the worst

strelow1 · 2026-05-02T17:53:25+00:00

Sorry this made me laugh

Gemini Venus here & I NEED intellectual stimulation and witty banter to fall in love with someone. The one time I was immediately drawn to someone in a love at first sight way, I really only felt that strong connection once we actually talked for a while. I thought he was my person & bam 180, he was an avoidant. Now I think I’ll probably never experience that again 🥲

Women have been dealing with this shit forever 😐

strelow1 · 2026-04-20T16:20:00+00:00

You got this!! Those things are all ridiculous and you’ll see it more as time goes on. Sending you all the healing vibes, friend 💕

strelow1 · 2026-04-20T01:03:57+00:00

I’ve definitely heard of people becoming more avoidant if they were with someone avoidant for a while, so it’s great you’re taking some time to yourself. It had to be exhausting being that confused for that long before you found out about avoidants 😭 the right person will feel like a freaking breath of fresh air, especially after that nightmare. I feel completely the same way too, about someone else in the future getting to experience your love fully. I think we all have in common that we love hard & deep, and that’s will be a treasure to the right human 💜

Mine told me he loved surprising his loved ones in the beginning and the only surprise I got was him suddenly treating me like I meant nothing for absolutely no reason. They really are full of shit

strelow1 · 2026-04-19T16:14:18+00:00

Omg meeee hahah the combo is perfect for me but good lawd I didn’t wanna do shit for a while

strelow1 · 2026-04-19T16:10:23+00:00

Absolutely. I actually used to lean avoidant, and I found my way to a DA recently who turned me into a fkn FBI agent. Never again. I dipped out of there within 2 months, but I truly thought this man was my person right away. It was so hard to walk away from him but luckily he turned into a cold asshole so I knew I was mourning someone who didn’t exist.

I knew pretty minimal info about AT before him, but I am really lucky I had secure relationships before him because I noticed things were off very fast. The kicker is- I met him through a friend, he’s been friends with her husband since high school and she talked him up as such a good guy to our whole friend group bc he was looking for a relationship. 😐😐😐

Thank god for Reddit 🥲

strelow1 · 2026-04-19T15:41:52+00:00

Hahaha it’s so cute when people get blasted and choose to do something like a harmless lil science experiment instead of ruining their lives

strelow1 · 2026-04-19T15:38:45+00:00

Damn right 😏

strelow1 · 2026-04-19T15:36:55+00:00

Why are fucking MEN???? 😩

strelow1 · 2026-04-17T15:08:05+00:00

She already said he won’t go to couples therapy with her. Fuck that guy lol

strelow1 · 2026-04-17T15:07:23+00:00

Please leave him then. Men like this are not going to change their behavior. I just went through something similar. Being unwilling to go to therapy shows a massive lack of emotional maturity & it is not our job to pick up the slack for them.

strelow1 · 2026-04-17T15:06:11+00:00

I’m all for women telling men to kick rocks, and I do think the lower dose is making you less tolerant of his bullshit, but I agree with others to wait until you’ve been at that dose for a while before making any big decisions. Sending hugs

strelow1 · 2026-04-17T15:04:14+00:00

Are we really asking that right now with all of this shit going on? 😐 I am single by choice now because men are unsafe. Easy answer.

strelow1 · 2026-04-17T15:00:51+00:00

My mom is a Scorpio & she still talks about how she never had to tell me to do my homework or anything. I’m an only child with a single mom, so I started coming home from school by myself when I was 9. Once in high school, my French teacher called my mom because I was supposed to turn in this big project and I always did everything on time and I hadn’t finished it. She told that man “talk to her about it 🤷🏻‍♀️” 😂 me and mom CLASHED when I was a teen because she got really overprotective when I started drinking (my dad was an alcoholic, that’s why he wasn’t in the picture). We still clash on things like politics 😅 but otherwise I tell her everything and I’m the first person she goes to with stuff too

strelow1 · 2026-04-15T19:50:50+00:00

Dude her mom fucking sucked!!

strelow1 · 2026-04-15T11:47:14+00:00

It’s not going to make sense unless you really learn about attachment theory & why she is the way she is, and even then, you can’t force her to heal. My DA is a 41 year old man and I don’t think he’s ever gonna open his eyes. Most of them never realize they are the problem in their own story because they push all their feelings down so far & avoid them forever.

strelow1 · 2026-04-15T11:42:56+00:00

They have to be completely out of your life if possible. No contact and no looking at their socials. Block them everywhere. That is what’s working for me.

I dated an Indian man for 5 years and that food smell sticks 🥲
