Weird M.S.-like symptoms

Hi,
Have you ever heard of an allergic drug reaction that involves
-tingling, pins n needles sensations down one side of body (no pain)
-same sensation/ numbness comes and goes on other side
-severe headaches
-difficulty with balance and reflexes (i.e. "asleep" hands that don't do what I want them to)
-electric shock sensations, but only at night
????????
I take a very small dose of Lexapro (1/6 of a pill most days) or this may just be stress.
Thank you beyond measure if you want to weigh in or have heard of something like this!

FYI it started over 1 month ago :)

hi- this sounds strange, but similar to what my cousin had.
He was experiences numbness on his face along with strange sensations-
his dr. ruled it as anxiety.  since you are on lexapro- have you considered adjusted your dose or trying to take another medication- your anxiety might  be the cause of this.
(assuming you take lexapro for depression.anxiety)
