Why does10mg of lexapro (escitalopram) give you a jittery nervous headache the following morning after taking it for 12 months.is it normal.my dr says no.i wonder.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would be: Surprised if this was a new occurrence (with no other changes being made- doses/ medication interactions). However, headache and jitteriness can occur with lexapro (escitalopram). Have you been consistently experiencing them over the last 12 months?
