> Hi all
> 4 weeks ago I went on Lexapro 10 mg in addition to my 52,5 mg Remeron. It is working okay but I am tired all the time now.

> Could it be that the Lexapro is making the Remeron more sedative? Should I cut the Remeron dosage slightly?

> Any response welcomeHi there. I took 10mg of Lexapro for 6 weeks and am now on 20mg. It has made me more tired but after just two weeks from starting it I had to switch from taking it in the morning to taking it in the evening(I was so so sleepy after about 3 hours from taking it)-- so I take it right after dinner now.... it's helped some with the lethargy, though I am still with less energy.... that's partly why I haven't been posting much... can't seem to get things done in the day let alone have time/energy to be on the computer.
anyway-- good luck with your situation.
