medication side effects

[Foreigngirl]

Have you noticed any side effects on Clonazepam or Lexapro? I am on 10 mg of Lexapro for a while now and added 1 mg of Clonazepam 2 monts ago. I noticed that I get twitches in my fingers and sometimes my fingers shake a little. Does this familiar to anyone?

Thank you

I have been on both of those meds for about 6 months now. I notice my hands do shake a little. But they have helped me so much! But everyone is different. Good Luck!!

I can't say what's going on, but many of these meds, especially ssris, lower magnesium levels.  Magnesium is responsible for relaxing the muscles.  You should check this with your practitioner, but you can try supplementing with magnesium citrate and see if it helps.
