The simple answer to withdrawals is..... put up with it and fight through it, as do those around you. Withdrawing from medication is no different than heroin... your body has come dependent upon the drug. Remove the drug, your body has adverse reactions, including mood. Those around you must simply be aware, you must not use it as an excuse, but instead do your best to fight through the withdrawals. It takes anywhere from 4 - 8 weeks to withdraw from medications, and even then it must be done correctly, slowly, a tapered approach.

Your anger is not medication though, as anger is not an emotion, its an emotional response. Depression medication has nothing to do with this.... there is no reason that you simply cannot come off all these meds and go onto just one anxiety medication, such as Xanax or the like. If you need anti-depressants, have you tried the most common form, being Prozac? Small doses of medications are also beneficial than the recommended dosage.

Do not rely just upon your physician for medication advice, instead seek advice from specialists.... even engage the services of a medication specialist to help you. Doctors sell drugs, some more than others, which is why I say not to always trust your physician in this area. Use commonsense, do research, find the facts for yourself, then trial and error is still the only method to find what works specifically for you. Lexapro is just a nasty medication overall, and I would advise you to get off it as it typically make depression worse from all accounts I have feedback, including my own experience with the drug. Go to more common drugs such as prozac if you need depression meds. I would recommend you get motivated though instead of anti-depressant medication. Again, only you can do it and only you can choose for you.... your choices, you live by them.
