You could also try a different SSRI with a different pathway of metabolism to see if it is the lexapro.
Certain serotonergic side effects may also depend on what varient of the serotonin transporter gene you have. One study showed that those with the SS varient of this gene got all the nausia and side effects. Although, no convinent way to test for that at this point.My mother, for instance, had so much nausia and vomiting on paxil that she needed to quit, (she wasn't taking anything else at the time).
