Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
It is important that you should visit your Doctor now and inform him about this side effects.These symptoms you are facing are side effects of Cipralex(Escitalopram).
The maximum dosage is normally 20 mg per day.I advise you to visit your Doctor immediately and request for a change of drug or dosage.
Take care.
