In reply to Lexapro - 2 months and still tired, posted by Ade on January 29, 2004, at 9:06:43
> The problem that I am having is that I become lethargic around 7pm. I have always been someone who can't sit still so this seems really odd to me. I am no longer having to take naps, but I get so tired around 9pm and can't seem to get out of bed in the morning. My motivation for most things seems low.

>I've been taking my Lex first thing in the morning as it tends to get me wired. Perhaps you could try to take the med at a different time and see if that helps any.
As for the tiredness, I went through some of that, but my theory is that I really _was_ tired, (anxiety can wear you out) and the Lex helped me to slow down enough mentally to help me notice that I did need more rest than I had been getting.
I try now really hard to focus on my rest every day. If I'm tired I'll sit down and put my feet up and listen to some music. If I'm wired, I'll use that energy. I guess I'm trying to say that I'm listening to my body more now. I couldn't _hear_ it before the Lex.
Good luck and hang in there!!!!!
