I'm taking lexapro and my blood pressure is going up and i have a rash on my neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
One of the known side effects of Lexapro is elevated blood pressure. It typically occurs several days after first starting the medication or after a dose increase. If you have not recently done either of these, it may be unrelated. Talk to your prescribing Dr for further instructions. Lexapro does not typically cause rashes.
