Having swelling and numbness in extremeties...I started Lexapro 3 weeks ago. Changing from Paxil CR. Reduced Paxil for 2 weeks with 10mg of Lexapro then third week went to just 20 mg of Lexapro. Some of the things I have experienced have been mentioned by many of you. The naseua, fatigue and headaches. But I also have had swelling in my hands and feet, face, etc. I call it swelling because it's not constant. Trouble getting usual rings on, feet swelling in shoes, numb fingertips. I also have joint pain and stiffness in my back and worst of all, I wake at night with my arm asleep but when I shake it or rub it to increase the blood flow it doesn't help. I noticed last night that as I was lying in bed watching tv on my left side, my right arm still fell asleep. I had no pressure on that side. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced similar symptoms.
