I Recently Tried To Go Cold Turkey Off Of Lexapro.

I recently tried to go cold turkey off of Lexapro. Bad idea, I know. I've been on the medication for about 4 years. I was off my medication for around two weeks when I noticed some side effects: fatigue, nausea, and a slight out-of-body daze. Since then, I've begun taking my meds again; it's been a week, and the nausea and fatigue and dazed sensation are gone; however, I have a slight but persistent cough and my voice is extremely hoarse. It's not painful, exactly, but it is irritating and difficult to speak at my normal volume. Will the hoarseness subside as my body reacclimatizes to the medication? If so, how soon might that be?
