Unsure: I'm not sure what your symptoms are from. It is possible they are from the Lexapro, (escitalopram) but they could also be due to another medical issue. It would be important in your case to return to the prescribing doctor for assessment and treatment of these issues. Allergy to the medicine is always one possibility, but not necessarily the only possible answer. Best wishes for getting better
