Side Effects of Escitalopram

There are other possible problems that can occur in people taking escitalopram. These rare side effects occur in less than 1 percent of people. It is difficult to tell whether these side effects are because of the medication or something else.

It is possible that you may experience some or none of the escitalopram side effects explained above. Unfortunately, there is no way for your healthcare provider to know beforehand whether you will have side effects from a medicine that you have never tried. Therefore, make sure to let your healthcare provider know if you develop any side effects during treatment with escitalopram. Also let your healthcare provider know if you develop something that "just does not seem right." While it may not be a side effect of escitalopram, your healthcare provider will be able to diagnose and treat the problem.
