I doubt you have seratonin syndrome from the lexapro. I've been on it for about 3 weeks now, at first it made my heart race and I felt hot, too. IDK why Dr.'s tend to blow off mental problems. Yeah, I do. Some of them are IDIOTS, that's why. I'm fortunate to have a very caring and understanding Dr. It ****** me off to read how others are treated...we're here for you anytime...cat
