In reply to for scott et al,.............. jittery on lexapro, posted by joebob on August 6, 2003, at 11:14:15
Lexapro has a mean half-life of 27-32 hours and reaches peak plasma levels in about 5 hours after you take it, so if you take it about 7 or 8 pm, that could be helpful for some people.
Also, a small dose of a long-acting benzodiazepine (like clonazepam or diazepam) can help with any jitteriness...but ususally this is not necessary...most sife effects will go away with a few weeks after you start Lexapro.
Titterating is really not necessary with Lexapro.
