I haven't had many bad side effects from Lexapro. I've been on 20mg for about 5 months. The most annoying is the frustration when it comes to sex....my partner takes lex as well, and we both have problems climaxing, so we've all but stopped trying to, which is sad. The only other noticable, annoying side effect that I experience is teeth clenching, which I didn't even associate with the Lexapro until I read that other people on it do it too.
I also take a blood pressure medication (albeit for migraines) - Inderal LA. It seems to be pretty good, it brought my blood pressure down (even though it didn't really need to be brought down) and actually helped with the racy heartbeat feeling I would get in association with the anxiety that I started lex for. Phew, that's a mouthful. Anyway, it might be something to try for your blood pressure, because I haven't experienced any adverse side effects with it.
