i myself started taking lexapro,10mg, 5 days now. i take it in the morning, so maybe u should try switching it, it does the opposite for me it makes me really tired. i guess everyone is different. sorry cant help too much. i am new to this medicine as well! good luck
:angel:

thank u for helping i will try and take it in the morning

I am on day 15 of Lexapro. My Dr. told me to play around with it to see which worked better day or night. I take mine first thing in the morning and sleep like a rock all night long.

Trazadone will put you to sleep if an AD keeps you awake at night. I take it for mild depression and insomnia and it works for that. 50 mg is usually the starting dose.

I am taking lexepro fo 17 days I am having terrible insomnia my doctor told me to take tylenol pm or benadryl to help sleep. I take it and works but the only thing is that if I wake in the middle of night I can't fall asleep again that's what happened last night I took tylenol pm around 10 and went to bed at 11 drowsy fell asleep woke up around 2 and could not go back to sleep stayed up all night tossing and turningThis is what's being going on for two weeks and sometimes without tylenol I was up all night. I am losing weight too Ihave lost 8 pound in two weeks. I don't know what's going on I am going to call my doctor today

Does Lexapro Give Anyone Very Bad Dry Mouth????

Hi Jamera,
My understand is that Lexapro affects people in different ways. I was instructed by my MD to take it in the evening between dinner and going to bed. It took a week or two to adjust but I've been on Lexapro for 4 months now and haven't noticed any increased problem with sleeping. I would ask your MD if you should try taking Lexapro at a different time of day.
Good luck.

yeah it doe's give me Dry Mouth too i go to the doctor's tuesday so i will adsk him to give switch them or higher dose that it prob what it needs.

nahk, I started taking Lexapro about 3 weeks ago and am very concerned about gaining weight. You said you lost weight. Have you noticed a decrease in your appetite? I've noticed an increase in mine. I follow a low calorie/low fat weight loss program so I know I'm not eating more food but I WANT to! Are you eating less? Thanks!

gingerweezie I think I have lost of appetite But I am not eating that less. Before starting with med my doctor did told me that you are going to lose weight in the begining and may put on some weight after 6 months because I was concerned about the wieght gain too.
are you having sleeping problem too how did you adjust to that.
