What Causes Nausea And Insomnia After Taking Lexapro?

My daughter recently started Lexapro. 5mg on 2/15 then increase 10mg two weeks later due to no improvement. She is having some nausea and insomnia and just told me she saw something two times like a hallucination. Will be calling dr tomorrow but thought I would inquire here.
