In reply to Sleepy w/Lexapro, posted by memphistigers2004 on October 21, 2003, at 19:49:26
> I have been on Lex for a week now and I am sleepy all the time. I am taking it at night, but I am still incredibly drowsy when I wake up. Today I took a two hour nap and was still sleepy. Did anyone else experience this and did it go away eventually?
This is very common and one of the biggest complaints with lexapro. I had to have my dose lowered to deal with it. When I was no longer tired it was moved back up. Also insomnia is a common side effect. 8 months later I am sleeping better than I ever have. Ive suffered insomnia all my life. So this is a welcomed relief.
