"i used lexapro for a short time because after about a week, i found that i lost all sensation of touch.  i could stick my hand under hot running water and i couldn&#039;t tell you just by touch its general temperature.  obviously, the rising steam gave a clue.  but i immediately requested to be taken off of it.  when i told my doctor, she thought i was lying.  wish i could have tried it longer but i prefer not being physically numb."
