Yes, I have been on lexapro on two different occasions for some months at a time. Both times I have had breakthrough bleeding which is very annoying. I am only taking 5mg of lexapro but it still happens. My doctor says that both medications are fighting for some liver function which causes more bleeding. I have also been brusing more and if I cut myself it bleeds forever.
