New to Lexapro - Vertigo

I too am new to Lexapro.
I started on Paxil 10 years ago and it was a constant roller coaster. I then was switched to Celexa and that has worked wonders for that last few years. However, recently I had to go in for surgery and after leaving the hospital I fell into a depression that Celexa could not get me out of. My doctor recently switched me to Lexapro. I have been taking Lexapro for about 10 days now. Last night I was noticing that when ever I rolled over in bed my head would spin terribly, I just fell back to sleep each time and think anymore of it. Until this morning I tried to get out of bed and fell over. I could not stand up. The room was spinning and I physically could not stand. I am assuming this was vertigo. I sat up slowly and waited for about an hour trying to move every 10-15 minutes. Finally about an hour later I was able to get up and shower. I am now at work but I still feel out of sorts but at least I can function.
Could this be the Lexapro causing vertigo?
It was a very frightening experience and I am concerned that it may occur again.
Can anyone offer some insight? Thank you so much.
