I am TRYING to be positive about this Lexapro. I have taken 5 5mg doses. I can't say I feel deep dark depression, so I guess that's attributable to the meds. But I can't say I feel great, either. What I feel is sleepy. I am drowsy during almost all waking hours, no matter how much coffee I drink. I crash at odd hours. Last night I slept 12 hours. A nurse friend stopped by the house and I told her about the med I'm taking. She said her teenage son took Lexapro earlier in the year, and it made him sleep all the time. Now, this kid is a high energy sports lover. She said he didn't have the energy or inclination to do his usual activities, such as playing soccer. He stayed on Lex for one month, then switched to Zoloft. He stopped being sleepy after the switch. I was going to pay bills last night, but got so drowsy I tossed them aside and saved the task for today (still undone).
