> Hi Annette
> Im sorry that you are having trouble with the drowsiness on Lexapro.I still having the same problem as you are with stayinhg sleepy but not quite as bad as you are.Night before last I upped my Lex from 5mg to 10..felt like I was in a bubble all the next day.. so last night cut It back to 5mgs..(Im very sensative to all meds).Did much better today...Was kinda weird..cause I was sleppy but at the same time felt like I was on major caffiene.Maybe ask your Dr about If it will help with the drowsiness if you take it in the am enstead of the pm...Or opposite from what time you are taking it now...Hang in there,and hopefully the drowsiness will pass.I do know that I read a lot of posts on here and that was one of the major SE was sleppiness,but that It eventually passes...Good luck and keep me posted...

Hi Kristen, I am supposed to take the meds as soon as I get up in the a.m., but usually wait a few hours until I've eaten something. A close friend of mine who has taken several different meds through the years can't understand why the doc chose THIS particular drug rather than Celexa or Zoloft. She has taken Zoloft (and may still be using it) and likes the way it works. I guess 5 days is a little early to think of bailing out on this med, but I wonder how the heck it would work at 10mgs. I'm surprised you could get out of bed at all.
