Is it okay that my boyfriend just stopped taking Lexapro without weaning himself off them?

He has been on Lexapro for anxiety since October, not sure how strong his pills were but he said he upped the dosage about 3 months ago. He ran out of them on Monday or Tuesday and he couldn’t get a new prescription that day. He hasn’t taken it for a few days because he hates the way they make him feel, is it alright that he just quit without asking a doctor or anything? He’s going through withdrawal, he’s dizzy, nauseous, tired, and his stomach feels weird.

he needs to go visit his doctor ASAP you should never ever stop any type of medication without a doctors order, in fact.. suicide could come into play.. and that isn’t a good thing especially when you are using anti -depression medications or the like. He needs to be honest with his doctor and tell him how they make him feel and tell him that he wishes to have a lower doseage or to change the pill altogether he must get to the doctor ASAP dear, its serious..I should have never just stopped taking them..
