Health - SSRI withdrawal advice (Escitalopram)

[insidiousvertigo]

Hi everyone. I'm on 30mg of Lexapro a day. I was on 40mg. It is mainly perscribed for my ocd, but also for minor depression and anxiety. I want very much to be off of Lexapro, and be past the withdrawl stage. I have not tried to withdraw anymore lately, because of the side effects. Should my next step be to cut down to 20mg or 25mg? And for how long? Another question, if I begin to have strong anxiety attacks, ocd attacks, or strong depression during withdrawl from Lexapro, will it pass eventually? I have heard that people with depression get depressed but it passes. I haven't read anything about ocd however, and I was wondering if my ocd would stay worse even after all the other withdrawl symptoms stopped. Thanks for any help everyone!
