> Hi,
> I just started on lexapro(10mg) for anxiety and I've gotten some strange side-effects. About 2 hours after I take it, I start twitching, yawning, and feeling like I need to flex my muscles. My jaw also starts to shake a bit. Anyone else get effects like this? Is this normal?

Sj1,
when I first started taking Lexapro (10mg) I had terrible jaw and back of the neck/head pain. This lasted for about a week. I've been taking Lexapro now for almost a month and the neck and head pain is gone. Sometimes I notice that my jaw is tense but nothing like it was in the beginning. If you haven't been on Lexapro for long, I'd give it a little more time.
Good Luck, Ann
