Can I experience severe pain in my limbs while taking Escitalopram?

I used to take 10mg of Escitalopram for depression, for over a year due to the relapse of the disease I have been taking 20mg. Is it normal that after this drug and after taking it for so long, as a side effect, I can feel terrible pain in my limbs? Legs from the knees down, and hands around the forearms and wrists. Sometimes it is unbearable pain. These symptoms appeared only now, before that everything was fine.

Escitalopram can cause inflammation of the joints and muscles (a common side effect). Consultation with a doctor is advisable to discuss the possibility of changing the antidepressant treatment. Side effects of taking medication may occur with some delay. The severity of the problem may be correlated with an increase in the dose of the preparation.
