Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a side effect I am having because it is very
disturbing by letting me know if you have ever heard of something like this before. I started Lexapro and Seroquel a few weeks ago and everything was relatively fine, however, I was going to a partial hospitalization program and it consists of group therapy and I have social anxiety. The first day I went there I was extremely anxious. The next day I decided to take valerian root to help with the anxiety and because I feared my anxiety was going to be out of hand I ended up taking a lot of it. When I arrived at partial I went to sit down and I started feeling tired. However, every once and a while I would have this weird nerve sensation throug out my upper body and to my head. It went away the next day. Now, basically i think a few times I may have taken too much valerian and kava along with the seroquel accidently and I may have hurt myself( I hope not) because every time I start to get tired I get those weird nerve sensations throught my head and arms and chest( it is hard to explain, it isn't painful but extremely disturbing becaue when I get tired it happens every 10 seconds it seems and it is so bothersome that I hate sleeping now) I thought it may have been the seroquel or maybe I overstimulated my body? I have stopped taking seroquel to see if it would help but it has just gotten worse so maybe it has to do with that and it will go away with time.
