(Lexapro) Escitalopram Oral Solution...what ELSE is in it?

Escitalopram oral solution, USP contains 1.29 mg/mL escitalopram oxalate, USP equivalent to 1 mg/mL escitalopram base. It also contains the following inactive ingredients: anhydrous citric acid, glycerin, malic acid, methylparaben, natural peppermint flavor, non-crystallizing sorbital solution, propylene glycol, propylparaben, purified water and sodium citrate dihydrate. * switching from tablet to liquid has been a huge adjustment. The PROs: truly the only way you can practically metabolically taper. The CONs: the inactive ingredients are majorly artificial, inflammatory, and cause adverse physiological effects. Personally, I have gone to great lengths to remove artificial additives from my supplements and food, also, I do not consume alcohol. I have a history of GI upset linked to artificial sweeteners (such as sorbitol). Sorbitol is an osmotic laxative that draws water into the intestines to soften stool, which can lead to common side effects such as diarrhea, abdominal cramping, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. Dry mouth may also occur in some people. Since my FIRST liquid dose of Lexapro 6 days ago, I have had gastrointestinal distress. It's very frustrating, but so fitting, that these pharmaceutical companies lace our active ingredients with artificial & harmful additives.
