Yes, it can. Depending on the dosage and one's unique physiology, lexapro can certainly increase one's appetite after a period taking it. I can attest to this personally and so can my mother and possibly one friend. Remember that your doctor has prescribed this not only because the overall benefits outweight the side effects but also because those said side effects, such as increased appetite, can be managed more effectively. I currently take it and can witness to this particular side effect. I naturally found that being on 20mg as opposed to 10mg made me that more ravenous when it came to food. If you're looking for a solution to this I'd talk to the doc and see what he or she recommends. The answer might not be in more meds but a change in habit (lifestyle, excercise, drinking more water, etc.
