In reply to Lexapro -- evening or night?, posted by bookgurl99 on July 21, 2003, at 18:03:21

It really didn't help me sleep better at the time I was still waking up 3-4 times a night, I no longer wake up at night. I have asked your same question in the past and some take it mid-afternoon to supper. The advice I got was to play with the times. I didn't play with mine much, and I have stuck with taking it sometime during the evening. My wife also takes it in the evening, but she had no side effects from it.
Hope this helps!Take care Tim.
