> > It seems that if I take Lexapro in the morning, I can sleep pretty well at night. But if I take it in the late afternoon,I have difficulty falling asleep and need to take a Lorezepam to help me. Does it really make a difference what time you take the med? When I remember to take it in the morning, my energy level is fine. Could it be that taking it at the end of the day, the energy thing kicks in and that is what is keeping me awake? Or is it just some odd coincidence?

I too think that taking the pill in the morning works best for me. It has some sort of 'uper' in it that makes it hard to relax at night - if taken too late in the day.
I take it around 8:30 AM, and feel good until early evening. Then, I start to wind down for the night. But here I am at almost 4 - wide awake. I'm hearing from others that this will pass with time. I am only on day 3 (technically 4).
Hang in there...
