LEXAPRO USERS

Anyone on lexapro? I have a couple of questions. I am taking 20mg a day and almost ready to move up some on the dosage. It has helped a great deal with my overall anxiety/panic but I do have to take it every day. I am just wondering what common side effects do you feel? What I have is not unbearable, just annoying. I get occasional headaches, but I do have a lot of joint/muscle ache pain. Like surface pain where I may rub my knee or arm or something. Just more annoying than anything else. A little dizzy off and on or lightheaded. In general, these things I will take any day over the constant panic that just terrified me but I would love to hear from some other Lexapro users.
