I also take 100mg Trazodone at bedtime to help with the Lex induced insomnia. My unipolar depression is mostly caused by chronic low back pain incurred nearly 20 years ago in a traffic accident, for which I take 10 tabs daily of 30mg Tylenol/Codeine. I have been on AD's for 13 years.

>Hi, I take 7.5mg of lexapro and have been there like I said for over a year. After my 1st 2 meds I decided to do my own dosing. I had tried going up in dose many times but I always felt worse. I changed mt dose many times until I settled in at 7.5mg. I DONT RECOMMEND ANYONE CHANGING THEIR DOSE ON THEIR OWN!!!!!!! Also remember I am very sensitive to meds. Yep I still take my med at 4pm. The main reason I started doing that, was because when I took it in the morning it made me tired and at night I had insomnia. Changing times didnt really help with either one at the time. The reason I take it at this time now is because I am not an early riser lol. I have had insomnia since I was a kid. I still dont sleep great but I sleep better than I have my whole life. Here is the link you requested. I hope it is ok with Dr. Bob!!! It has a lot to do with my recovery with lexapro and I dont sell anything. Its just thoughts and info. TAKE CARE!!
