Hello,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Yes, dizziness can be caused by Lexapro.

Also it can cause such side effects like: constipation/ diarrhea, dry mouth, trouble sleeping or loss in sexual ability.

Please note that as your body adjusts to the medicine these side effects may go away.

However if you feel that you can not handle with dizziness or other side effects you should talk with your doctor so that he or she may change the treatment.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
