I have read other cases where as in FooZe's link there have been "increased" difficulty with words etc. This "is" a concern because my daughter makes a living by doing a lot of calculations and she certainly can't be seeing or processing things different then they appear in writing or in numbers.

The other concern I have is the side effect noted in Lexapro of being light headed, dizzy and challenge with equilibrium. My daughter competes heavily on horses where jumping and speed and "very quick" decisions have to be made. There sure is no room for "lack of balance and imparity of the ability for "quick decision making". It can be "a big deal".

I came across one small statement about dyslexia and antidepressants where "frontal lobe confusion" had been noted. I could not seem to find anything else, however what FooZe has presented is at least another person describing a difficulty that she has encountered even "after" stopping the antidepressant.
