Lexapro question

Posted by Baseball85 on May 15, 2013, at 14:29:45

Been on lex for about 9 weeks now at 20mg. My depression has lifted for the most part and anxiety is
Much better. I still have a lingering side effect of feeling achey and wanting to crawl out of my skin. I have weeks where it's gone and then some where its really bad. It doesn't feel like anxiety because I'm calm, just uncomfortable. Jitters went away too. Anyone experience this?

No but I've taken a dose this high? Sounds like you are doing really well though. Phillipa

Something to keep in mind is a mild form of serotonin syndrome, because of your also taking an MAOI. It probably isn't that, but it might be worth discussing with your psychiatrist.
