Could Back Pain, Hip And Wrist Pain Be The Side Effects Of Lexipro?
I have taken lexipro for about a year. I never took an antidepressant before but my son died tragically...my question is, I am having really bad low back and hip aches and in my wrists. I had back surgery many years ago and I fear I may become disables entirely. Could my problem be from the lexipro?. I take 20 mgm daily

Hello,
Lexapro (Escitalopram) can cause arthralgia, neck and shoulder pain, muscle cramps and myalgia. However, your symptoms may not be drug related.

Thank you.
