Hi,

It's interesting to see how many other people have this aggravating side effect as well. Lexapro, as most of the SSRI's I've tried (my recent experience with Lexapro is more fresh in my memory), made me chew my fingers in the evening, sometimes all day and into the night. Lexapro, though, was the worst. My husband and I watched Back To The Future movie and I just couldn't stop singing Huey Lewis and the New's "Power of Love". Seems SSRI's make me feel good, but also cause like a sort of agitation/anxiety that also includes a sensitivity to bright lights (have to turn away when flashy commercials are on tv) or to certain sounds. What a mix: euphoria and anxiety!

The nausea can be reduced if you can lower the dose to half-that's if you're able to split the 5mg. then increase dose when you can. Try taking it with a BIG glass of water, or after a meal.
