Lexapro Jaw pain and cheek numbness

Hi Amanda,
thank you for taking your time to reply to me.
I actually have read this article before. I'm not 100% sure if everything I'm experiencing would be included under bruxism. I don't grind my teeth. Just my cheeks get numb and feel puffy and I'll have pain in my jaw next to my ears. I also feel my sense of taste is not as good as normal and i feel I've been producing more saliva than normal and sometimes less than normal...
I've also been having pain in my left leg, foot, arm, and hand. And also just feel weaker in those left extremities. It even bothers me when I'm driving or just doing very simple tasks.. kind of just trying to piece everything together...it's hard with this horrible brain fog.
I just turned 28 years old the other day.
Thank you,
John

I know this thread is a little older, but I just started taking lexapro 8 days ago. I also have a lot of face tingling and numbness, which makes me nervous, because that’s usually when I am about to have a panic attack. Butttt what caught my eye from your comment was you said you had left leg pain, and pain in other left body parts. I have that too! I am extremely aware of how my body reacts to things, and I’m hoping that this tingling will eventually go away.. but I do feel like the lexapro may be helping me. My body is super sensitive to medication!
