In reply to Lexapro Insomnia, posted by Jeff81 on July 16, 2007, at 12:03:57
Yes I definitely had this problem. In fact, when I started on Lexapro it initially made me very anxious and jittery. I had to drop down to 2.5 mg a day and slowly work my way up to 20.Don't let the initial side effects of Lexapro scare you. Mine all eventually went away - including the sexual problems - but it took some time.

Did anyone else experience this with Lexapro? Did it go away? Do you think it might get better if I take the pill in the morning?
