4 Months On 20 Mg Need Help (tremors, Dizziness) (Top voted first)

Hello, I started Lexapro at the end of August for GAD, first with 5MG then to 10MG then to 20MG after a month. Some time later (maybe 8 weeks), I started having tremors in my legs which has now spread to my trunk and arms. When I sit or lay down it's fine, but as soon as I move around it starts. Also dizziness. My question is this. Can it be Lexapro? Everyone says I'm crazy to think that I'm the 2% which it adversely affects. But my axiety has increased to where I'm wired all day and these other symptoms make it seem like it could be the Lexapro. Dr. keeps saying it is anxiety but I don't believe it. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks

REPORT

The tremors are actually listed as a fairly common side effect, according to the FDA. They also list the possibility of it causing or increasing anxiety, as well as nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth.

So, it certainly could be due to the medication. The only way to find out would be to try a different medication and see if these symptoms go away.

Has anyone else experienced this, while taking Lexapro?
