Lexapro

[Mandi]

Ok guys, if you have read any of my post you all know I'm scared to death I have ALS. So the other night I was laying in bed with my muscle twitching in my leg and I was trying to remember when all this started. I think I noticed the muscle twitching a couple of days after I started taking a higher dose of Lexapro. I went from 10 to 20. Would 20 milligram of Lexapro give me this effect of muscle twitching? I have been taking 20 for over a mth now.

I can only share my 10 years of experience with taking 20mg of Lexapro. Never had any side effects other than perhaps some nausea. Muscle twitching is a pretty normal symptom from anxiety.

It is possible it could be a side effect. But it should vanish in time. Side effects differ from person to person. Others get no side effects at all. One to keep an eye on. If it lasts a week or so have a word with your doctor. Side effects normally vanish after a period of time.

It's very possible but a side effect like that would be more of a annoyance, nothing serious. Electrolyte imbalances can cause it too. I've been on Lexapro for a good 5 years had it upped to 20 not very long ago,. It helped but I did stay a bit brain fogged. So I went back down to my usual 10mg and they added a .5 klonopin x2 a day instead. Klonopin is a benzo but really helps. Makes me pretty tired and a bit fuzzy headed but levels out pretty quick. For anxiety .5 is usually just enough. Lexapro did a world of wonder for me once I started taking it years back, I'm not sure it helps as much now as it did. But that's to be expected too.

Thanks for everyone's responce. I only noticed the twitches after the incress of Lexapro. I was hoping someone had this problem..the twitches are driving me mad.

Have you ever had your magnesium levels checked?

i was on Lexapro and it helped quite abit it elevated my mood but not enough for me to be 100% soo they put me on Effexor. i am so sorry to hear that you are experiencing twitching it is the worst . to awnser your question, it is hard to tell if just 20 milligrams cause you to have that sideafects . and i think the higher dose you are on for medication the most likely you would get side effect but everybody is different so some may have and some not Maybe speak to you phyciatrist abot it and see what she/he thinks of what's best

hope this helps good luck have a great day x
