> Is it possible for a person to experience seizure-like activity after one week of lexapro? i.e muscular convulsions, clammy skin, altered mental status, teeth clenching, biting tongue ( no post- ichtal state or other seizure behaviors)Our 17 year old daughter is experiencing this and the drug is the only recent change in her lifestyle. Please respond ASAP.
Seizures can happen with any antidepressant in a susceptible individual. I would take her to the ER now and find out what is going on to be safe. If it isn't a seizure it certainly sounds like serious enough side effects to warrant investigating.
