You came to the right place! There are a ton of threads related to Lexapro and potential side effects.
You're not alone with your newfound sleepiness. It's very common and it may subside. Some have had great luck with Lex and others have had trouble. It's different for everyone. I'd give the Lex a little longer to see if there is a change in your tiredness.
How is Lexapro working otherwise? Some choose to deal with being tired because they are having positive results.
If it doesn't improve or becomes a problem, you may want to consider another med.
Good luck!
> I have been taking the Lex 10mg each morning for 8 days now. I never had the problem of not being able to get up, I just started taking it because for the last 6 months I have been feeling really angry all the time. I have noticed that for the last few mornings I have a hard time getting out of bed and when I do make it to work I can barely keep my eyes open. Has anyone else experienced this? Also I have noticed that now all of a sudden I have no sex drive where before I did.
