> Mariposa, I have had similar feelings only not on a regular basis. Have also redecorated inside and outside...and spent lots of money doing it! Last Friday I did so much I was soaked with sweat, had dry mouth like on speed and had trouble interacting with anyone. Today on the other hand, I have absolutely no energy. It's nearly 3pm and I am still in my pajamas. I've only been on the Lexapro for 3 weeks. Just reduced from 20 to 10 so maybe that's why I feel so tired. I'll keep you posted.
It's still "early" in your Lexapro experience and what you describe is similar to what I went through. I had a very rough begining and experienced a lot of sleepiness, letargy, fatigue, and trouble doing anything physical (got winded immediately, lightheaded and got the shakes). But all those SE's began to fade around week 6 and 7, and I actually started feeling "better" during week 8, though I did not realize it at the time.
I hope you continue to improve, as I did, and Good Luck, we're all pulling for you.
