Burning Sensation - Escitalopram (Lexapro)

[Mexican]

Hi everyone!

After a period (3 months) trying to live without escitalopram, anxiety symptoms returned so me and my doc decided to return with the treatment.

I was prescribed with 10mg but first 5 days taking 5mg only. I’ve just took one pill yesterday and today I feeling burning sensations all over my body, but mainly over my legs area. About 5 years ago when I first take escitalopram, I think it was fine without side effects.

Is this possible? Or maybe I don’t remember that I had that side effect years ago.
