speech problems with Lexapro

[Guest guest]

Hi - Can anyone tell me if they've had speech problems while taking

lexapro? I've been taking 10 mg for about 6 months. Found it to be

very helpful with depression. Unfortunately during the past 2 1/2

months I've started saying the wrong words about 4-5 times a day. For

instance I might say carpet when I meant to say closet, or beach for

backyard. My psychiatrist had me decrease lexapro to 5 mg as it could

be the med. When there was no change in speech he suggested I see a

neurologist. Just wondering if anyone else has had similar speech side

effects.

Thanks,
