I take 10mg of Lexapro in the morning, and 10mg of Buspar twice a day (so 20mg daily). My Dr wants to wean me off of the Lexapro and increase the Buspar. I left my Lexapro at work and don't have a spare bottle at home. Since I'm already taking Buspar to have something in my system, how bad do you think it would be to quit the Lexapro cold turkey? Or would it be best to go into the office tomorrow (I normally WFH Thursday and Friday) to make sure I can start weaning properly?

I had to be without my Lexapro for about 4 days bc of delays in delivery (I take 15mg) and I wouldn't recommend it. it wasn't completely awful, but I didn't get much done and I definitely don't want to do that again.

I used to take Lexapro and I weaned off of it in a week. Absolutely love thr Buspar. I'd definitely get your meds from work.
I'd go into work and get my medication, just to be safe. I don't like to cold turkey quit much of anything, especially psychiatric meds. Good luck with the Buspar! It changed my life! š

@ceruleanstar my coworker might bring it by for me after work but if not I'll go in tomorrow to get it

It is not advisable to quit Lexapro cold turkey, as it may cause withdrawal symptoms. It would be best to consult with your doctor about the proper way to wean off Lexapro and follow their recommendations.
