   Anyone had Excess Energy or Nervousness with Lexapro (Anxiety board)

9th October 2003
Have been taking Lexapro for almost two months now. Mentally I feel great but I have this nervous energy I just can't deal with anymore. At night I feel like I always have to stretch out my legs or move around. It's almost like havd ADD. I have this energy I don't know what to do with. I exercise so I am thinking it must be the medication. I also take Pravachol for cholesterol and Levoxyl for hypothyroidism. I have recently been tested for thyroid so I know that medication is okay. I have Klonapin to help with sleeping (also going through menopause) but I try not to take it much because it is addictive.

I don't know if this is anxiety or what? The Lexapro is the last medication I have been prescribed so I am thinking maybe I need a higher or lower dose. Or is it the type of medication that I need to have balanced by Klonapin?

Have a doctor visit later this month for other stuff but don't want to do two separate visits because I have a high co-pay. If I call I know she will say come in.

So has anyone else had this problem?
