If the escitalopram controls the hyperventilation, then no problem staying on it. Escitalopram treats anxiety well and obviously, the hyperventilation is a symptom of your anxiety. Best to stay on the 10 mg and discuss further with your doctor.

I have been taking 5mg of Lexapro (escitalopram) for two days now and have not experienced any side effects. Will they pop up later or am I potentially in the clear?
