In reply to Lexapro 10mg, starting week 7, posted by theo on June 18, 2003, at 17:12:31
> I'm starting week 7 and am feeling a little more "clear headed" but am still experiencing sleepiness by 8:00 pm and groggy in the mornings when I get up. I take my daily dose at 7:00 am. I have a hard time even making it through a movie or show without falling asleep which has never been a problem before. Normally I go to bed about 11:00 pm. I'm also experiencing some mid afternoon headaches that will normally lighten up with Advil etc. but I never had headaches as frequent before starting Lexapro. I do have a follow up appt. with doc July 1 and will review progress with him of course but would appreciate any input from Lex users 7 weeks and up.
Hi Theo!
I don't have the headache problems. I take my Lex. at night. The problem I have is that I tend to wake up once an hour starting at 3 am, I do fall back to sleep it's like I'm watching the clock. I started with Lex in the morning and switche to nights so that I could sleep through the possible side effects. My pdoc says it does not matter if I take it at night or in the morning. I'm sleepy during the day but I blame that on the Xanax.Good Luck! Tim
