When I first started Lex about 10 months ago, I found that it made me somewhat wired and edgy. After a few weeks, that went away, leaving an enhanced mild hypomania which kept me from sleeping well. The pdoc gave me Seroquel for sleep and it's worked great.
Lately, I've noticed with the shorter days, that I have been getting really run down late in the afternoon and could nod off. I upped my dosage of Lex from 10mg to 15mg and after three days I must say it's helping.
How well do you sleep? Are you getting enough restful sleep? Make sure you are really resting enough, as I find that if I shortchange my sleep for a few nights in a row (easy to do with three little kids at home) I will be totally shot, energy-wise. Really concentrate on getting enough rest, and see if your energy comes back.
How long have you been on the Lex?
