Could Cipralex Cause Dry And Itchy Skin Around The Eyes?

I am experiencing severely dry and itchy skin around my eyes...both above and below the eye and along the lash-line. I have also recently started taking Cipralex, so I am wondering if the dry itchy skin could be a side effect of the drug. Thanks! Nicole
