In reply to How does Lexapro affect sleep, posted by shoff on May 10, 2003, at 2:08:17
> I started Lexapro a few days ago (no real effect yet) and my sleep patterns seems to be terrible since. Is this a common side effect?
My experience with Lexapro is that it interferes with my sleep. It was worse at first and doc gave me Trazodone for bedtime. I contunue on 10 mg. of Lexapro but have cut from 100mg to 75 mg of the Trazodone as I seem to want to sleep in alot. (I have always been a night person and always love to sleep late.) Have been on Lexapro for seven months and it has helped alot.
For all you newbies, hang in there and give it the best try you can.
