I have taken Lexapro (5mg) and recently been challenged with canker sores on both lip and most recently tongue. The sores have been extremely painful and don't seem to respond well to normal treatment(s) such as; salt water rinse or mouth washes etc. Have recently came across several other notable treatments with a simple search on Google. To your question about antidepressants relative to canker sores. there seems to be some correlation if you have experienced dry mouth as a side effect. Additionally, this can change the acid level within the mouth. http://news.bio-medicine.org/medicine-news-2/Antidepressants-Can-Lead-To-Mouth-Infections-11562-1/
Probably one of the better resources for treatment options can be found at: http://www.emedicinehealth.com/canker_sores/article_em.htm
Hope that helps.
