I have been on Lex for about 6 weeks (I think) but my memory is so bad I can't remember when I started it. (space cadet) I have had that skin crawling feeling also and it worried me until I realized that it coinsided with the dread of my landlord coming to see the pig stie that I have let my house become. Does anything (thoughts)in your life start the tingling feeling??? I have felt better since I made the connection that maybe it is not the medication. Also what has helped me is a .5mg xanax two or three times a day in addition to 10 mg of lex. After 3 years I have actually started cleaning my house. I was always well groomed personally and showered daily but if I dropped something on the floor it was too much trouble to pick it up. I would just step over it. I really hated myself for doing that. I hope that I am getting better. Getting motivated is the hardest thing to do, staying motivated is the second hardest. Believing that there is hope for you getting better is a thought that I almost never have. I take it one day at a time. Give some reconsideration to stopping Lexapro. Good luck.
