Hi Mopey,
I know exactly what you mean about waking up in the middle of the night feeling anxious. (I'm on 10 mg of Lexapro, day 22) This does go away after a few weeks.
I take mine at night, around 10:30 pm. At first, I found that I'd wake up around 1:00 am, again at 4:00 am, then at 6:00 am - it would take me an hour to fall asleep and the alarm would go off at 8:00 am with me feeling groggy. But just a couple of days ago I found that I was asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow and now I'm tired all the time. But I only wake up once or twice during the night.
You might try a sleeping pill, or try taking it at 4 am for a week and then start taking it in the morning. The insomnia WILL go away. Good luck!
K.
