?side effect: If you have no other evidence of a viral intestinal tract infection or type of food poisoning, you may be experiencing a side effect or intolerance to the lexapro. You could discontinue it and if symptoms resolve, try taking it again. If abdominal symptoms recur, you'll have your answer. You may want to discuss this first with your prescribing physician before taking any action.

Lexapro!: Abdominal pain and cramping is a common side effect after starting Lexapro. I just found this out after doing 30 second Google search on "Lexapro and abdominal pain." Don't hesitate to consult Dr. Google.
