Does Lexapro have anything to do with the neck/back pain I have been experiencing recently? Or is the neck/back pain caused by the depression I am still currently battling through temporarily until the Lexapro takes full effect?

Hi,
I had really bad back pain on lexapro,enen a low dose.
Got off of it after only one month and was put on prozac.
Also extreme fatigue on lexapro. Back better and fatigue much better.

To the best of my knowledge, Lexapro is prescribed to treat depression. I believe that it is not uncommon for doctors to prescribe anti-depressants for patients suffering from chronicc pain. So the answer to your question is "yes", Lexapro may be prescribed for the treatment of backpain to address the depression often associated with such pain.
