In reply to Lexapro, melatonin and just can't sleep!, posted by Marietta on December 31, 2003, at 7:45:38
I have been on the same dosage of Lexapro for 12 days now, and I ran into a bit of the same problem the first week. I found I was a bit more "wired" at night....this was after taking the drug in the morning. I started to take the pill right before bed, and now I sleep 8-9 hours a night restfully. This may just be something that goes away after a little while and I am coincidentally sleeping better now, but I do seem to have more energy during the day now. The drug works differently for different people, but it might work for you too. Good luck!
> I have been on Lexapro 10 mg (first time a/d user) for only a week now but find i just can't sleep more than 2 or 3 hrs at night restfully. I take it first thing in the am. I haven't had a good nights sleep in over a month; i'm sure some of it is attributed to the reasons i was prescribed a/d in the first place but i am exhausted. At recommendation of some, i started 3 mgs of Melatonin in the pm....to no avail. Took ANOTHER 3 mgs.....no help. Actually worse.
> HELP? any suggestions?
