How long have you been taking Lexapro? Some meds do cause ringing to become worse so I would suggest you talk to your doctor if the problem presists and maybe change to another med.

Hi, like I said sometimes it takes time to adjust to a new med. If your side effects persist I would definately see your doctor about it.

HI,

when i was talking lexapro, it did not really help me with my mood or anything, i just gain a lot and i was brusing very easly . As far as i know , the rining in your ears are coming from starting the new medication from too high dose .Just contact your doctor, i bet he will put you on lower dose of lexapro and the ringing might stop.

best regards,

kate.
