Lexapro Jaw pain and cheek numbness

I know that this is an old thread, but I'm also looking for some answers here. I started lexapro a few days ago to help manage anxiety. I'm on day 4 and I'm having jaw/cheek numbness on my left side as well. I don't see my doctor again until next week and I'm doing my best not to freak out.

I went to the ER yesterday and all of the tests they ran checked out and they couldn't explain. I mentioned I had started taking Lexapro, but they didn't respond to that at all. AT this point I'm just trying to tough through this until I see my doc.

If you went to the ER and they said nothings wrong it’s in all likelihood the Lexapro. An ER doctor would know nothing or next to nothing about antidepressants. The physchiatrists don’t even know anything about the drugs they so happily prescribe like candy.
