I started taking 5 mg Lexapro a few weeks ago. Have been using the 5 mg for about 5 weeks and decided to try the 10 mg dosage. I had a very bad headache and neck stiffness from the 10 mg so I went back to the 5 mg dosage which does work for me. Perhaps if you take 5 mg in the morning and then 5 mg at night you may not have any issues.

I’m glad the 5mg is working for you. That’s a good idea. Thank you.

I went from 10 to 20 mgs overnight. My body hurts all over I told my doting was having problems but she convinced my family I was just scared of taking the medicine. I told my children but no one wanted to listen to me. I have severe neuropathy now and my eyes were effected too. My daughter didn’t have a problem until her blood pressure went up and she got dizzy. She went to the focus for they took her off Lexapro and put her on Zoloft. She didn’t like the side effects. I have had a hard time on all the medicines.
