I started Lexapro today and I'm already feeling the side effects...I've had an on and off headache, my muscles ache, I was really sick this morning but that went away around noon, I had a ton of energy but I was fidgity and restless now that it's night time I feel exhausted more so then normal and I've been cold like freezing cold all day. Did/does anyone else experience this.

Oh Yes.. Yes yes yes yes & yes. :)

I've been on Lexapro for years, and what you just wrote there really took me back to when I started on Lex.

Especially with the extra lots of energy. For me, "most" of those side effects went away over time, (including the extra energy) but yeah those are normal side effects from Lex, and from what i've read in the past usually go away after a week or 2 after you reached your peak dosage.
