"stay away from this drug! or at least if you have had my experience. my side effects was that i had very painful armpit boils. never before in my life had i had them. i researched signs and symptoms online, and found lexapro could cause them. i stopped taking lexapro, and haven&#039;t experienced anymore. i would get one or two boils a week. they left ugly, permanent scars. although, i&#039;ve found possible laser treatment may remove scars."
