[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 279264, member: 3305"] gcvmom, I was on Lexapro (before my psychotic breakdown 2 yrs ago) and for about a year I ALSO had this need to pick at a pimple on my face. I did this regularly for about a year...ended up causing a permanent scar. It was a compulsion. Not only that but it didn't "hurt" it was like the Lexapro made me numb to physical pain. I think there is something to this "picking and Lexapro" definitely some kind of corrolation there. In addition, I also experienced "restless leg syndrome" on the Lexapro. I mean I could not stop moving my legs around when I got in bed to try and sleep...it was awful. As it turns out...for me anyway, I have Bipolar...I think that the Lexapro may have played a role in my mania driven psychotic breakdown. Anyway, I would definitely bring up these new side effects to the psychiatrist. Tammy [/QUOTE]
