I just upped my Lexapro from 5 mg to 10 mg last Thursday and on Friday I noticed my neck was stiff and sore...along with a mild headache.

Anyone else experience this while on Lexapro? Temporary side effect?

Oh, also feel like my legs are restless too at night now.

Thanks in advance!

now my face is super hot and I'm freezing cold. No anxiety though. No fever either, just checked. Looks like a call to the PDoc tomorrow.

Sorry Sylk. 😐

These are symptoms I get from anxiety, so maybe your step up has just brought on a temporary increase that will settle once you've adjusted, and the new dose starts to be effective in bringing your anxiety down again.

I hope you get the answers you need tomorrow...and relief very soon!
