Dustin - I agree with Kathryn. I started taking 10 mg after breakfast, but found I couldn't wake up during the day! After several weeks I started taking it later and later each day - very gradually over about 10 days time - til I switched permanently to 10pm. I think I do better at that time. Good luck!

But then noticed that Lexapro made me tired so I began taking it at night. Some people have the opposite experience...to start out with they take it at night, but find it has an energizing effect so they begin taking it in the morning.
