A member asked:
Is it possible to have an upset stomach, gas pains, nausea & diarrhea just from upping an antidepressant? ive been on lexapro 15mg for a year, my psychiatrist just upped it to 20mg about 2-3 weeks ago

GI upset: There is a possibility that an increased dose led to GI symptoms. However, Lexapro is usually pretty well tolerated. The cause of the GI upset may not be due to Lexapro. If you have GI upset, take the Lexapro with food. You can talk to your doctor about splititng dose & addition of probiotics can help.
