From crazymeds.org: "Lexapro's Freaky Rare Side Effects: Lexapro (escitalopram oxalate) hasn't been on the market long enough for the really freaky side effects to come out.... It's noted that in the clinical trials someone on Lexapro complained that their muscle tone increased. There's no pleasing some people."

So, it treats your depression AND gets you into shape? Sigh me up, man.

[padawanhilary]

Yeah, no kidding. *takes omg*

I can't find anything on whether it causes drowsiness or sleeplessness though.

I haven't had either of those in the time I've been on it, although admittedly I'm on a relatively low dosage at the moment, so if/when it goes up that might change.

That said, I've not noticed any change in muscle tone, either. Damn.

oh great. "sleepiness OR insomnia." Well at least I'll be buff.

And either well-rested or getting a lot done while you can't sleep.
