A member asked:
Recently went from 10mg of lexapro to 20 mg of lexapro (md orders). i seem to have an increase in urination frequency. no other symptoms (no burning / cloudy urine). i have heard this is a side effect of ssri's. is this true? if so, will it go away?

Lexapro's manufacture lists UTI and urinary frequency as rare side effects. Post-marketing reports also have urinary retention listed. My patients have not reported this side effect to me in my practice. It would be important for a primary care physician to take a history and physical with at least a urinalysis/metabolic panel to rule out other causes of urinary frequency before changing meds

It can happen and probably get better. If not mention it to your MD
