Hi,
I'm curious, when you take the Lexapro at dinner time, does it adversely affect your sleep? I'm thinking of switching to that time of day because I think taking it in the morning (even with a 20 mg. Adderall and another 20 mg. of Adderall at noon) makes me far too dopey all day long.
Have you been on Lexapro long? I'm on day 7 - 10 mg. but today I cut back to 5 mg.
It's definitely different (for me) than going on either Paxil, Prozac or Wellbutrin. I really feel like it's a more powerful medication (or maybe it's just because I haven't taken anything that targets serotonin for about a year).
Thanks for your post about the dinner time dosage! I'm looking for creative solutions with this med.
Best regards,
Lee
