Muscle stiffness on lexapro??

Posted , 3 users are following.

I’m on 12.5 mg of lexapro for past 12 days, was on 10 mg for months previously. I’m having muscle stiffness/weakness in my legs. Kinda freaking out. Could this be from the lex? I was also on a six day course of Methylprednisolone for sinus infection but I took the last pill Thursday. What is going on?! I do workout but I know it’s not from that-feels different. Thanks!

    Hi. I have been on Lexapro since December '17. First 10 and then 20. I have aching muscles in my legs but did not connect it with the medication. I will ask my GP the next visit. Hope your aches subside.
