I just started Lexapro 5 days ago, and have slept 12 -14 hours a day every day since. Does this get better? I took Paxil for 6 years and had this sleepy problem, but not this bad. Doctor wanted to change me because the Paxil has made me gain 35 pounds over the years, and I can't lose it. I had already tapered down and was off the Paxil, so that's not it. I am taking 10 mg in the morning. If this stops, I will keep with it, but this is pretty awful if this doesn't get any better. I have a 10 year son, and feel like I am sleeping my life away.
