Weaning off of Lexapro

Would like to know what regimine works best when weaning off of Lexapro. I started taking 10mg of Lexapro 2 weeks after my DX at my Oncologist's recommendation. I have to say it really helped me on my treatment journey. I also used Ativan at the beginning and it was helpful. It has been 16 months now and I really do not think I need Lexapro any more, since I am feeling great. My oncologist said: Taper down to every other day for 2 weeks and then stop. Has anyone else done this? Any other regimens or tappering off suggested?

Thanks for your help, Catherine
