Hi mummycat,
Are you seeing a family physician or a specialist like a pulmonologist. I myself have been on Lexapro few years back and never experienced vomiting from it. You might want to look into seeing a specialist.

Hi mummycat,
Thanks for your question. Even thou vomiting can be cause from the same coughing. Which can sometimes affect your stomach. But most definitely, you should be getting either a second opinion or asking your doctor for more test.
