Hi Billybob, This is a question for your prescriber. Depression and anxiety can also cause these issues. How long have you been taking Lexapro and at what dosage? What other medications are you taking? Drugs.com has a good interactions checker for your use. There’s also a list of side effects for any drug. You may want to check both those tools to see if you recognize your symptoms. I’ve been on Lexapro for 7 years and I’ve never had those reactions except in times of extreme anxiety. Sorry that I can’t be of more help but I’ve given you two tools to try. Also ask your physician about this! I wish you success .
