I used Lexapro for two weeks when I noticed the blood pressure was way up as well as the pulse rate. So I stopped taking the drug. One or two days later I was overwhelmed with the side effects listed. I was not given any warning about the possible side effects of this drug. This left me not knowing what had happened to me that day.
