Hi, welcome to Health care magic forum.
You have stopped lexapro and started prothiaden . actual procedure is the lexapro should be tapered and prothiaden should be introduced slowly increasing.
Prothiaden at this dose may cause such changes, it is better to consult your doctor and then slowly do it .
wishing you a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
