A member asked:

Help!. i'm suffering from lexapro (escitalopram) burning sensation in neck/head. what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Call your prescriber: I think u mean burning sensation in neck / head from Lexapro (escitalopram) . It would first need to be established if these ate indeed from Lexapro (escitalopram) or " anxiety " for which Lexapro (escitalopram) may be prescribed.
