I’m currently on lexapro and have missed a few days simply by spacing and don’t think I experienced anything like that I would ask your doctor if it’s normal for others it could simply be how your body reacts to the withdrawal of it

SSRI withdrawals can have flu-like symptoms, you're probably just fine. If you're worried you can always talk to your doctor, but that sounds normal

When I missed my Lexapro for 2 days I ended up quitting my job (honestly wasn't a bad thing tho cuz that job was destroying my mental health)
