I know this is only first day but I broke my 10mg Rose in half and now I'm experiencing pounding in right ear and slight ringing I guess tinnitus. I don't think I can stand this if it will continue. I've read other people had it and it didn't go away I'm freaking out. Oh God they were right when they said anxiety gets worse but I don't think I can go
On with low grade ringing in my ear if I let more of this stuff get in my system.
Took 5mg of Lexapro experiencing pounding in ear?

Sorry I meant to say dose not Rose! Pounding and ringing seems to have subsided for now. Still nervous about next dose.

Hi, carmar! It's very unlikely that after taking one half dose that you're experiencing any severe or permanent side effect. Also, the fact that your anxiety level over starting this medication is high enough to cause you to *freak out* makes me wonder if your anxiety is raising your blood pressure which could certainly cause the pounding and ringing you describe.
If I were you, I would contact my doctor ASAP for some advice and re-assurance.
Best regards and I hope all goes well for you. Lexapro is an excellent choice for both depression and anxiety disorders.
