Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that I too just started lexapro (5mg)about 4 days ago and also have akathesia. klonopin has helped. I'm really tired and clenching my jaw too. I'm willing to give it several weeks, since I took zoloft in the past and it was good to me for many years. It is surprising that a drug that can cause such tension initially can actually help you relax and worry less, but in my case that was true for Z. I'm hoping for a similar result w/Lexapro.How high does your doctor want to take the dose?
Hang in there. Let us know how it goes.
