When to take Lexapro

Posted by mopey on January 10, 2004, at 9:21:47

Hi! Been following the side effects debate, and that led me to wonder when people take LEx.

I am always sensitive to meds and even 5mg of Lex was too much -- vomiting, grogginess, etc.

I'm on 2.5 mg and can feel a buzzing when it kicks in and also sleepiness, followed by overalertness.

If I take it at bedtime I wake up mentally alert a couple of hours later, and I'm too physically tired to read or get out of bed. Just lie there thinking....

If I take it in the morning, I have to work through the weird kicking-in sensation and sleepiness and then feel great!

When do other people take it? I have a feeling that 4 a.m. might be best for me, as I could then be asleep for most of the problem time. However who wants to set an alarm to wake and take meds???!
