Maybe: at 4 weeks on the same dose, i would have expected the symptoms you describe to have disappeared and not appeared. Talk with your doctor about reducing the lexapro (escitalopram) and seeing if that helps. but a lesser dose might not be effective in alleviating your symptoms. It's possible another med may be needed

See your doctor: Too little info. to answer question. Could be from either med's side effects, drug interaction or other reasons. Did you get a baseline EKG before starting Quillivant? If not, would suggest get one to make sure no cardiac side effects. Need to know what meds and doses you've been taking when you felt very tired/dizzy. Talk to your prescribing doctor without delay for guidance.
