Lexapro and constantly chapped lips

does anyone else have this problem it has been ongoing since i started taking it and it is really bothering me. i put vaseline on overnight and the chapped still doesn't go away. please help!

nothing to do with the med , you are nervouse an your lips are dry so you lick them , it becomes a habit an till you break it

I have constantly chapped lips. Thanks to you starting this thread, it is occurring to me that meds may contribute to the problem, since they definitely are drying in other ways.

I find being in a hot, humid climate resolves the problem. But I'm not in that environment much.

Putting on lip balm after eating and after brushing my teeth and after showering does a really good job. Even if I just manage to do it twice a day, it helps a lot.

Blistex cream in the tube is my favorite product, because it seems to work right away. I've read that it is much used by professional models.

Many medication cause dry mouth ( pretty much all meds do) dry mouth leads to very dry lips ... mine use to crack and bleed .. finally saw a dermatologist and they blamed it on my meds .. also saw my dentist and he said it was from my medications also . since i cant just stop the medications i just am never more than 20 feet from my chapstick .haha I have them all over the house ..

Good Luck and hope you can find something to soothe the chapped lips

You hit the nail on the head it,s from dry mouth med style, CHEW gum is one way to wet your mouth , me i constantly have a tooth pick in my mouth , makeing my mouth moist as i chomp on it. But it does look like your trying to be cool when when doing it, but i find gum give,s me jaw ache after so time. Dry mouth med style lead,s to dry lips ,as the poster say,s
