I have been taking 10mgs of Lexapro for about 5 months now and really didnt have any side effects, but the last 2 months I have been sweating alot at night. Occasionally actual night sweats, where i get really wet, but mostly just sweating. Anybody else have this problem. I do get it more around that time of month, but it goes on all the time approx 2 to 3 nights a week...Thanks

I have had that, and was on lexapro for app. 2 years, but it was not the lexapro but anxiety and panic.

Yes, I also had that side effect when I was on Lexapro, but I had it all the time - not just at night. I would mention it to your doctor just in case, but it does sound like a "normal" side effect of the medication.
