Psychotropics are powerful stuff, and different people respond differently. I'd get her into a psychiatrist - the doctors who know most about psych meds. Yes, it is possible that she doesn't remember. It's also possible that her memory is sketchy and it's easier for her to say she doesn't remember than try to explain an the experience that was too strange and outside of what she can understand about herself. In other words, she might be scared and worried that she's going crazy and doesn't want to share that with you. Btw, manic rage is not an uncommon response to AD's when they are not the right medication for the illness.
In any case, a good therapist with whom she can develop trust and a positive relationship would be a real smart course for any parent in your situation. You don't trust her. She probably doesn't trust you. A licensed therapist that you both can respect would go a long ways for your relationship. Just remember, the relationship is primarily between your daughter and the therapist, so give her a lot of leeway in choosing who she sees.
PS - http://www.crazymeds.org includes a link to their talk boards (top left of home page). Take a look at the Q&A. Post your question there, and get responses from people who have been on AD's. Don't let the name of the site put you off. The information on the medications is on the money and well researched.

There is nothing in Lexapro that would that. Period. Perhaps it made her a little more agitated and restless (possible side effects, especially when starting the medicine) than usual, but homocidal rage with no memory, I doubt it.

How old is your daughter? We do know that teenagers sometimes have bad reactions to SSRIs. She may not be acting, but I would get her to a therapist PRONTO if that is what she is saying. Please feel free to write me if you want.
