AKA the "ZAPS". My favorite of all withdrawal symptoms! And you wonder how Uncle Fester did that light bulb trick!

Oh GOD!!! Don't remind me. Days and days of being zapped every time I moved my head... or even breathed!! How could I have been so stupid?????? It makes me shudder just to think about how horrible I felt....

crazyone, Lexapro is what my wife is taking now. Several weeks ago (talking with her doctor) she decided to go off it. You described exactly what happened to my wife coming off of lexapro. Her AHI for some reason went higher and she had more periodic leg movement. She went back on it & her PLM went down along with her AHI. We are only taking about 3 points(AHI) on her download. Besides making herself miserable without lexapro she made her whole family miserable. I told her never come off lexapro again
