Lexapro and the missing Period

Anyone on lexapro, that is not on Birth Control and is NOT pregnant?  Did it mess up your cycle? I was every 4 weeks, waiting for the next period so I could get Mirena and now I'm going on 2 weeks late. Took a test, not pregnant... but where oh where is Aunt Flo?

    I was on Lexapro - didn't effect my period. But any medication can mess up your cycle - I'm currently almost 2 weeks late and not pregnant (was on heavy duty antibiotics for 2 weeks for a sinus infection - I Googled the side-effects and sure enough, a delayed period was one of them!).

    Not on any BC and I was due for AF about one week after starting Lexapro, but it never showed.  I'm now over four weeks late (not pregnant) and have taken WAY too many HPTs.  Thank goodness for Dollar Tree tests!!  I didn't think about Lexapro maybe causing it... I am still BFing tho and just assumed my cycle is wacky, despite the couple months of perfectly timed cycles.
