Can't say that I have noticed this, I drink LOTS of coffee. Been on 10mg lex for almost 5 mos. It is possible that you are "adjusting" to the Lex, 2 weeks is not a very long time, as it may take 6-8 weeks before you actually experience "benefits".

I have had days where I feel like I'm on speed, very active and wanting to get lots of things done, a positive SE of Lex in my opinion, but I have NOT been uncomfortable. If it continues to be a problem you should discuss w/doc, or worst case - cut down on coffee!

Best of luck to you!~~~8|8
