A member asked:
Can you tell me how to counter act my lexapro (escitalopram) side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can't: The nausea and headahces early on in treatment the first few days to a week should go away on their own, but vivid dreaming, sexual side effects, and increased appetite may not go away. You can exercise and be mindful of your eating to decrease the likelihood of weight gain.
