Question : Does Lexapro cause a balance problem?
Brief Answer:
Considerations
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for the query,
It is possible this medication could cause some dizziness or balance issues particularly when one starts taking the medication. If this is a new medication then it is possible this may be the case.
If you have been taking the Lexapro for a long time, however, I would discuss this with your doctor as there may be other issues contributing to the loss of balance.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Sincerely,
Dr. Galamaga
