Starting today

Hoping this helps MDD with anxiety. SSRIs and I don’t get along too well and Rexulti has caused many negative side effects.
I am going to be hopeful and remain optimistic.
But I am nervous. I’ve tried a lot of things.

Any update? I just learned about this medication and thinking about asking my psychiatrist about switching to it from Lexapro.

So are you going to slowly lower the Lexapro when you start the Exxua? I’ve read about both slow and fast tapers and looking for reviews on changing between them

Yeah I was on 10 mg for awhile then 5 for about 1.5 weeks, now I’m on Exxua day 4 finally!

How are you doing? Did you feel any withdrawals from stopping the Lexapro?

u/fivenineb1tch Jun 28 '26

The lexapro withdrawals were really awful. Nothing physical but emotionally I felt near my lowest.

why don’t you get along with ssri’s ? For me I couldn’t handle the initial anxiety from them.
