Hi folks,i had a bad reaction from just 1 dose off lexapro 2 months ago and now am left with a constant (24/7) burning sensation on the right side of my brain.
Will this ever go away and what could cause this??
Will my brain heal in time,im' really worried here.
has anyone had or heard off such a reaction and did you/they heal from this?
Thx for the answers ;)

Lexapro can not damage your brain, and certainly the one dose you took is entirely out of your system...so if it is severe, or getting worse, or assosiated with any other neurological symptoms, you should get it worked up by your doctor.
