Lexapro Restlessness

Posted by Baseball85 on April 9, 2013, at 13:14:12

After 4 weeks of upping my dose to 20mg my anxiety is under control and my mood has improved for sure. Most side effects have subsided except for the jittery/restless feeling. It's typically worse during the day and after I take my pill about 8a. How long did this last for anyone that experienced it? I have days where it goes but man it's uncomfortable.

For me that feeling never went away until I lowered the dose. Lexapro was good for depression for me but I never really tolerated doses above 5mg. herpills

I've gone to 5mg also. Never tried higher dose. Are you on the benzos? Seriously so glad the 20mg has helped your depression. Phillipa

if you are constantly getting jittery feelings why not switch ssri's...that constantly does not seem to be a good thing
