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). I am worried (of course) that the numbness is from some other disease or something. Thanks alot. You guys are great. May we all have the peace of God someday. Maria

hi,i dont do the meds, because im clean and sober now 4 years.but i was on zanax about 6 years ago,and also paxil.but to me all that stuff did was make me feel controlled,i did feel numbness and tingling in my chest and arms though, that i do remember.i know meds are beneficial through your physician,monitered properly,but for me i was glad that the program itself,is geared towards getting off the meds.my whole reason for obtaining the program,was control issues,my mind was very paranoid,and i felt the whole world was against me,like people were trying to control me in some way shape,or form.the program has been working for me,im on session 5,and im not feeling those issues as strongly,or if any now.and that is a true blessing for me and my family.check with your doctor,and i will ask around too see if anyone else felt those symptoms.i know some people who are on lexapro,and there looking too get off it too,god bless, and keep posting.
