How long do the side effects of lexapro (escitalopram) last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seeyour Family Doc: They could last for several days...Depends on the side effects. I would strongly suggest that you see the doc who prescribed it before you stop or change this medication...Sooner rather than later..
