In reply to Depressed and Tired on Lexapro, posted by KRM123 on March 23, 2003, at 20:42:15
Don't give up on it yet. It can take about 4 weeks for a full effect. The tiredness gets less
over time. I have been on Lexapro for a long time and I am doing extremely well on it.> I've been on Lexapro for a week now. I am even more depressed, have no energy and want to sleep all the time. I know I should hold out to see if it gets better, but it is so hard. I feel hopeless. Has anyone else struggled with the same side effects? Before the Lexapro I was on Wellbutrin for two weeks but that made me worse than the Lex! I was crying constantly, sleeping, depressed more than ever before. I am wondering if these medications will ever work. I started taking the antidepressants for dysthymia- will anything ever work?!
