Lower eyelid swelling
Hello doctor, I woke up with swelling in my left lower eyelid. What should I do?
I'm taking escitalopram 5mg at night.
Is swelling related to escitalopram?

You must continue your medication
Escitalopram is not associated with such side effect
You can consult an ophthalmologist for this eyelid swelling
Do not bother, you will be fine, must seek consultation with ophthalmologist and can review with your Psychiatrist too

Consult online. Tell your doctor since how long have you been taking escitalopram. If not associated with any breathing problems, you may discontinue escitalopram for a few days and then restart at a lower dose to observe if swelling reappears. If associated with breathing problems, cobsult a doctor immediately.
