Hi everyone,
I am on my third week of lex and was starting to
feel less of the side effects. The most bothersome
to me is the jitteriness I feel. I feel like I am shaking and my jaw feels funny. Anyways, these feelings went away after about 10 days and have now returned. I am still taking the same dose at the same time. Has anyone else experienced these s/e and have they ever gone away and then came back. When will they be gone for good? Any advice would be helpful. I feel like I am losing my mind and wish I never started taking lex. I have never been on anything before. My doctor started me on lex for anxiety and obsessive thoughts over health issues that didn't exist. Now I have these s/e's to worry about too! UGHHHH!

UGHHHH!What you describe are all se's that have been attributed to Lex. I had many of them myself, all went away. At wk 4 I had trouble - more depressed and anxiety attacks, doc raised my dose from 5mg to 10. That helped, finally felt *good* at week 9. Positive thoughts, drink lots of water, eat even if you don't want to. Talk to your doc about your concerns, and keep us posted!~~~8|8
