Lexamil contains the active ingredient Escitalopram, commonly sold in the US under the brand name Lexapro. This is an SSRI antidepressant, that is also used to treat some cases of anxiety.

Some of its common side effects may include: nausea, dry mouth, headache and weight gain.

That said, it is possible the medications are contributing to your problems, however, they could also be caused or aggravated, by your depression itself and what you have recently been through. The only real way to arrive at a conclusion would be to consult with your doctor.

Did you have any other questions for me?
