Lexapro electric tingling waves, does it stop?

I've been on Lexapro for approx 6 months initially 10mg, I upped to 15mg 3 months ago (which was too strong for me) so have come back down to 10mg, went down to 12.5mg first for a month and now been at 10mg for 3 weeks now (I still had some withdrawl, all of which seems to have settled now). However, I'm still experiencing waves of what I can only describe as inner tingling, almost like a wave of electricity is passing through my bones. Does anyone else experience this? Could it be due to withdrawl? And does it ever stop? It's very unnerving! 😦 TIA
