I agree with Jade. I don't second guess doctors, but I wouldn't stop cold, even after every other day. I would take half for a while, then a quarter, etc. I take Lexapro too, but don't plan to go off it soon due to history of clinical depression. BUt I've heard some stories from people stopped taking it, including an emergency room visits for a suspected stroke that turned out to be Lexapro withdrawal.
