Hi.
I forgot to mention in a previous post that extreme sleepiness appeared during the second week of treatment with Lexapro. There was absolutely no sign of it during the first week. One poster observed that for him, the sleepiness was worst 10 hours after dosing.
Insomnia has always been a good sign for me that a drug was going to work. Everyone is different, of course.
> Well it's 2AM and I took my night meds about 2 hours ago. I am not even a bit tired!!! I thought about starting to take this Lexapro at night now to see if I sleep better.
I guess an important question to ask is if you are bipolar. If so, any reduced need for sleep must be scrutinized as a possible symptom of a switch into mania.
