I am not so sure: What the medication you mentioned are . Do you mean lexapro (escitalopram). Medication like Lexapro (escitalopram) can upset stomach and causes some distress in the initial stage but will ease up later on . You may try over the counter Omeprazole , peptobismol . If symptoms persist , please see your doc.
