I've been on Lexapro for about a month now and I've noticed my legs twitching. I read some where that twitching was a bad sign. Im very scared. The Lexapro is helping with the anxiety, I dont really want to come off of it but its making me twitch. Help?

I started on 10 mgs of Lexapro but since I'm pretty med sensitive, I had some side effects like nausea, creepy crawly feelings in my legs and tiredness that were really bothersome. So I cut it down to half and I'm doing much better on that dose. I may have to up my dose at some point. We'll see.
Hopefully this side effect will go away for you, but it may not. I've been on a couple meds where this side effect did not go away. We're all so different it's really hard to say.
You should probably see Talk to your Dr and ask what he/she thinks about this side effect. I'm glad to hear it's helping your anxiety. Remar

Im taking 10 mili of Lexapro. I was on Prozac about a year ago and it made me twitch too.

You should let your doctor or pharmacist know about the twitching, as it may be a side effect of the Lexapro.  I have had severe twitching for about 4 years, enough to where someone else can see the twitches.  I have them all over my body and seem to have more of them when I am under more stress.  Best to you!

I have that problem a little bit too when I'm trying to go to sleep. I've had it with other antidepressants also. What dose are you taking? Have you talked to your Dr about this side effect? Remar
