I am weaning on Lexapro and I have weaned off Paxil before, so I know what to expect and how to go slowly. But with Lexapro I am craving sweets so much, I just want to eat fruit and candy all day. Has anyone else experienced this or heard of it? Also, can it cause insomnia? I am going really slowly, tapering by just 2.5 mg every few weeks. Any other tips?

I think it can cause insomnia, but I’ve not heard of the sugar cravings.
Maybe going off Lexapro has altered your menstrual cycle and its pms food cravings you’re having. I know it’s rough to go off anti-depressants honey. Good luck. I’ve tried and failed several times. Please write and let me know how you are doing if you have time.
