Specializes in Psychiatry

Lexapro (escitalopram) palpitations: I commend you for running half marathon. Cipralex ( Lexapro) can cause palpitations. Running half marathon possibly increased palpitations. Discuss with Psychiatrist: •Anxiety symptoms for which Cipralex was started •Side effects, and effect of half marathon •Severity of symptoms now needing medication •Decreasing dose •Ativan or Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety •Therapy for stresses •Breathing Relaxation.
