Has Lexapro helped anyone with the Numbness/Tingling Caused by Anxiety?

Hi all, I was on here years ago and was taking Lexapro at the time. Now after being off of it a few years, I had to go back on due to some personal issues in my life not being resolved. This time around, I have arm and leg numbness/tingling, which I am hoping is a symptom of my anxiety. I just started Lexapro last week and was wondering if anyone had any help with curing that symptom of anxiety (or if you even have numbness as a symptom of anxiety). Thanks alot. You guys are great. May we all have the peace of God someday. Maria

I was on Lexapro for a year and I remember a lot of weird side effects when I first went on it. It took a good month for me to get use to it. The numbness, is most likely a symptom of anxiety. I am now off of any drugs and currently in week two of the program.
