How can you prevent side effects of lexapro (escitalopram)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lexapro (escitalopram) side effects: Usually starting with a low dose and increasing the medication slowly (over several days or even weeks) can minimize side effects, but not always if you happen to be someone who is prone to them/sensitive to these types of medications.
