K, Thanks for your response. The first two weeks I took the Lexapro in the morning- I was wide awake at 4am every night. On my doc's recommendation I switched to taking it at bedtime- couldn't wake up in the morning for the life of me. I would turn off my alarm without even realizing it had sounded. So about a week ago I switched to taking it at dinner time (5ish). Now I'm back to awaking at 4am. I'm not as crazed and wide awake as I was when I took it in the morning but it's still frustrating. It's my first AD though and as frustrating as the sleep issue is, I've had so much success (so far at least) in other areas that I'm determined to make it work.
