Leedsman,
Yes, I experience the sinus congestion, too. It's in the morning for me as well and then eventually subsides throughout the day. I've had this for the last couple of years though, so I know it's not from Lexapro since I've only been on it for 2 months.
I thought it was from my smoking. Yet, the funny thing for me is when I first started taking Lex, the congestion went away!! It was awesome, so I chalked it up to being from anxiety: tightness in the throat, hard to swallow: the pysical symptoms from it, etc.
But, it's come back for me again. It presented itself again after a couple missed doses, so now I really don't know. Anyways, just wanted to let you know I got it, too. Hope it'll get better for you.

> While I start my 5th week of Lexapro 10mg. what about the time I started on 5mg.Lexapro a week before that , did that help? Or the week before that when I was on Paxil 12.5 mg CR one day and 5 mg. Lexapro the next for a week. I have been off Paxil cold turkey for 5 weeks now, could I still be suffering from some kind of Paxil withdrawal besides taking Lexapro now. I know Wayne said it could be a combo of both, but I am having this sinus burning feeling, anybody ever have that? Like your sinus feel inflammed but are not and congestion in the morning. Any one else t out there have any input?
