In reply to Lexapro, melatonin and just can't sleep!, posted by Marietta on December 31, 2003, at 7:45:38
I was going to suggest the same thing as bluesfan. Try taking it at night before bedtime. Just a note- if you try melatonin again in the future, 1 mg is enough.
In addition to taking Lexapro before bed, try taking Valerian about an hour before bed. Only buy Valerian that says "standardized". Don't buy it if it says "concentrated" or anything else. Also, it smells terrible so hold your breath while you take it. But it works good.
Valerian woked well for me when I started on Lexapro.
