In reply to Is this a lexapro side effect, posted by deepdarkhole on April 6, 2004, at 12:36:40
Hi! I had jaw clenching the first few weeks and then again for a couple of weeks when I upped from 10mg to 20mg of Lex. It did go away! I have read numerous posts about hand shaking and tremors of all sorts. I had hyper foot tapping for a few weeks as well. Lex has been effective for me in diminishing my depression and obsessive thinking. Good luck to you and hang in there, glad you are finding that you can tolerate the Lex!!!

I have been on lexapro for 10 days now. For me that is amazing as I have tried A LOT of meds and couldn't tolerate the side effects for more than a couple of days. Anyway....I am having some things happen that I am not sure if they are side effects or not. It is really starting to scare me.
