well i just started taking lexapro also for depression. i am prescribed 10mg, but it was too much at first. i break mine in half and take 5mg two times a day. sometimes i am really tired, and i dont know if that is from the lexapro or not. at first, the 5mg gave me energy and helped a lot, then when it wore down, i took the other 5mg. i feel like i am getting used to it now, so i want to try taking the full 10mg, but not sure when i should take it. sometimes i am tired/sometimes i am wide awake on it. :) never a constant thing. is that normal?
it seems to have helped so far. i am not big on psych meds, but i know the side effects have been very few and small, espec compared to effexor, which is what they started me on last year. that was a mess.
how long before the tiredness goes away? do you guys take yours in the morning or at night??
