> After 9 weeks!!! Oh gosh, I really hope the side effects go away soon. I have not even reached the 3 week point and I am really having a hard time. However, I am (was) hopeful that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Now, I do not know. UGH! Jill

> > Erin, I cant say I get the twitching fingers, but the "jumpy" feeling, the clenched teeth, the feeling of "cant sit still" is definately still there after 9 weeks. As for the appetite, I like some of the others here have to force myself to eat too. Other times, I am actually hungry. I hope we ALL can enjoy the Holiday season and may we all feel better sooooooooooon!!!! *SSSSSSSS*

> Hi, I have been on lex 10 mgs for 3 weeks now. I too have experienced the twitching in my legs, especially at night when I am trying to relax! I also have that feeling of shaking when I am not shaking. I call it the "jitters" . It feels like I am cold and shivering but Im not. My jaw also feels funny. Weird! Also my s/e's went away after 10 days and have now returned. Has that ever happened to anyone? When do they go away for good. I have also been reading that it is really hard to go off lex and I am scared. How long do people usually need to stay on lex? I am on it for anxiety and obsessive thoughts over medical problems that dont exist. But now I have these s/e's to worry about instead! UGH!
