> Hi there. I have been taking Lexapro for 7 weeks now and will soon be going into my 8th week of this medication. I really never noticed alot of side effects til just over the last week. I seem to be tired alot, have headaches, muscle aches (such as my chest, neck, shoulders and back) and sometimes along with the aches I have the sensation of light-headness or almost a sort of fainting sensation. Is this normal? And if so how much longer can I look forward to these side effects? Thanks for any help with my questions!
Are you drinking enough water? Eating properly? I remember feeling tired, but if I got up and moved around, the tiredness would evaporate, almost like the head was tired but body was willing. SE's should be subsiding, try not to dwell on them and think positive thoughts!! I still feel that *faint/dizzy* thing occasionally but it's mild and fleeting.
Best of luck!~~~8|8
