Could Abdominal Pain And Tremors Be Related To Taking Antidepressant Lexapro?

I am 23 and stopped taking the antidepressant lexapro after four years about a month ago. I experience diarrhea several times a week, cramping, bloating, abdominal pain, severe tremors, sweating and hot flashes. Are these symptoms of antidepressant withdrawal even though I stopped the medicine a month ago?

No, if these symptoms have started 1 month after stoppage of antidepressant, these must be due to Gastroenteritis,. Get investigated and clinically examined. Get a proper antibiotic treatment and you may be fine. IF there is no response get ultrasonography done.
