No, it is not. Actually its a sever side-affcet resolting of the use of the Equetro. If i were you, i would seek medical attention right now! Exceptionally if it turns into a Rash or any different kind of sever side-affects. Sooo... yeahh...

EQUETRO - (carbamazepine) Extended-Release Capsules: Some common side effects are: skin rash/blisters/peeling, itching, or swelling. Please talk to your doctor/pharmacist for more details as he or she is the best person as they would know your medical history, hope this helps?.

Lexapro (Escitalopram Oxalate) tablets or oral solution: seems to have no interactions with Equetro, however again your doc/pharmacist should be able to give you better advice.
