I'm still hanging in there after 5 days of Lex and I'm having a weird reaction. Aside from the horrible nausea, my right arm between the elbow and figers keeps going numb or feels like it's about to fall asleep. Anyone else had a similar reaction? Not sure if carpal tunnel has finally set in or if it's a SE of the Lex.
Thanks in advance!

I'm on my ninth day and the S/Es are diminishing. I had a little tingling in my fingers but not nearly as bad as it was on effexor. The nausea will lighten up too. Hang in there.

Hi, I'm finishing up my 4th week on Lexapro and I haven't had what you're experiencing here, but I had it with Topamax. Are you maybe sleeping on it wrong? That happenes sometimes? When I was working as a checker I was getting it really bad-I thought I had CTS too-it may be that you are having the beginnings of that. Maybe see a neurologist?
Good luck:-)> I'm still hanging in there after 5 days of Lex and I'm having a weird reaction.
