Is there gastric issues with long term lexapro (escitalopram) use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually no: Escitalopram (lexapro), as many other antidepressants, can have G.I. Side effects. These are usually minor and short-lived. If you are having issues with Lexapro (escitalopram) please discuss these with the prescriber, who can talk to you about your specific situation.
