Suggest Remedy For Swelling In Ankles Post Lexapro Intake

Yes, per my MD, I started taking Lexapro approx 4 wks ago. I recently noticed swelling in my ankles. From time to time I will have this occur because about 2 years ago I had both my knees replaced and I work on my feet for 12 hours. However, the swelling I m experiencing now will not go away. Can it be the Lexapro...

No. It is not the lexapro.
You had it before the lexapro.
Large operations on knees but not medications that affect the brain will change circulaition in the legs.
