A member asked:
How long will it take for ear ringing to go away after it started the 2nd day on lexapro (escitalopram)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly 3-5 days: Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) is not a common side effect of Lexapro, (escitalopram) but can be triggered by anxiety or other drugs like aspirin or NSAIDS. It may not be due to the Lexapro, (escitalopram) but most such side effects subside after 3-5 days. If you took any other meds, stop those, and see if it gets better. If still there after a week, talk to your doctor re a different antidepressant. Good luck!
