lexapro for muscle tension

For the past few month I’ve had debilitating anxiety. I’ve always had headaches but recently I’ve had weird sensations like a twitch in my head and neck. It’s freaking me out. Could this be just tension due to anxiety? I also get jolts/twitches in my back, legs and arms. Someone tell me this is all anxiety and that I’m not crazy. Currently on my 2nd day of upping to 20mg of Lexapro.

If you are feeling what I was feeling, I suggest talking to your Doc about something to take while your waiting for the lexapro to kick in. And if its like mine was 24/7 I suggest something that last a long time.

If you are told that you have very,very high muscle tension in your eyes- please can you tell me what this means?What is causing it and can it be the reason for general fatigue?

She said my back muscle were tight and could be causing them to press on my sciatic nerve which might explain the leg soreness. But then my leg (posterior) are tight and sore deep inside. Could this muscle tension cause all this tightness for the past few monthss? Either way, I'm starting to get scared again.I thought I was on my way to recovery and now these new sensation are coming up. Will my muscles ever realax again or do I have to live like this.

s been treated for muscle tension in the neck causing tension headaches. His neck muscles are tense and he actually has two bumps at the base of his skull where the muscles attach because they are so knotted. If you asked him to describe where his headaches originate though, he says it's at the bottom of his skull, not his neck. So my question is, those of you with CM, do you have tense muscles in the neck?

I have SEVERE muscle tension in my stomach and chest area, i dont know if its nerve pain or muscle pain. All I know is that it is severe and intolerable. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how to solve it?

You started taking Lexapro, a drug in a class known to cause nerve and muscle problems, because you had possible nerve or muscle problems? That drug is for depression and/or anxiety, but not muscle twitches. So have you been diagnosed with anxiety or depression? Did you see an orthopedic surgeon or neurologist to get checked out and were told it was in your head and so they put you on Lex?

You're right of course. I just don't trust my neuro anymore and made an appt. with an internist regarding the recurring heartburn, weakness, and tiredness. I'm sure the hearburn was brought on by consuming NSAID's for the occipital neuralgia. Anyway, for some strange reason the Lexapro seemed to help with the headache. That's why I was thinking about trying it again...maybe just 2.5 mg and slowly work up to 5mg, then 10 mg.

I know that fatigue is a common side effect of anti-anxiety meds and anti-depressants (I myself have been on Lexapro for almost 1 month). I just met with my psychiatrist yesterday and my physician the day before and they both told me to hang in there for another two weeks with the medication and that if I still feel fatigued, then maybe it would be time to move on to something different.

ve been reading up on Lexapro, and some people report tightening in the jaws--maybe your muscle tension could be from the medicine? Also, how long have you felt this way? Could it be a virus or infection, like meningitis? You should ask your doctor.

can lexapro. help with nervousness. internal shaking lack of appetie, tension, obsessing on health problems sleeping, how long till you start see results?

I have cut my hair, gotten glasses, have had cat scans, eegs, mris, massages. Done it all and I am still in pain. I take lexapro, was on muscle relaxers and naproxen but was told to stop those two and just take the topamax, when will it start to work any ideaS? Should I be on anything else with it? I really want my head to stop hurting! I grind my teeth at night also i wonder if that has anything to do with it?

ll bring your heartrate down and thus your nerves will calm. Exercise is also good for muscle tension that builds up from daily stress. Those would be my thoughts.

I have nausea, muscle twitching (especially when trying to fall asleep), tension in my head, and insomnia. I saw my doctor and he gave me Lexapro, but now two days later, the symptoms are worse. I have a phobia of doctors, so when I saw him on Monday I was under a lot of stress. I am extemely anious about MS and brain tumors, and I obsessively research things on the internet. I feel like I should go to the hospital, but I try to stay calm.

Hello. I've been having this problem (frequent urination) pretty good for about 1 year now. I feel tired a lot and I have a outer itching on my vaginal area around my monthly cycle time but I don't have a yeast infection because I've been tested for this many times. I take 20 mg of Lexapro daily and on other medicine. About one year ago, I had a glucose test done at my annual pelvic exam visit, and my sugar was higher than usual but not diabetic.

what are the options for treating intractable migraines for some one who already hypotension not caused by medicine, 30 yrs old with multipule triggers, triggers include too much sun, heat, low Blood sugar, sleep cycle disturbance, SSRi's and aged cheeses, hormone fluctuation, , I am 30 yr old female with hx hypo tension, migraines 10+ yrs, depression, asthma.

And for me, stress often is that heaviness in the head, neck ache, tension. Perhaps also you are not on the right dose of Lexapro. With those meds, finding just the right one and dose can be a bit of trial and error. I also get this kind of head pressure when I'm tired. How's your sleep? Are you getting enough? People your age often need more than they are getting. I'd start to track things like what else is going on, your sleep, what you eat, etc.

I have worked out several times since the massage and not once have I felt even the beginning of a headache. Hope this helps some of you. Bad muscle tension can cause some very odd symptoms, the type that make you think something is seriously wrong. Hope this helped some of you.
