Lexapro And Itching

Updated May 19, 2014

I have been taking Lexapro 10 mg for a year. It controls my anxiety wonderfully.
I started having itching (small bumps on my lower legs) which the dermatologist says are normal. I've also begun to have itching on my arms, my buttocks, my upper legs - pretty much all over. Has anyone ever heard of Lexapro causing these symptoms?

Hello, Kathleen! How are you?

Yes, it can cause itching as a side effect in some people that take it. After being on it for such a long time, if it hasn't gone away, you most likely need to speak to your doctor about trying a different medication.

Is there anything else I can help with?
