In reply to Lexapro is making me tired, posted by tensor on July 25, 2009, at 17:17:07
> Hello,
>
> four weeks ago I upped the dose of Remeron to 30mg and added Lexapro 10mg. For depression, panic attacks and anxiety. By week three I felt better, had no panic attacks and I had the urge and energy to do something, and I actually got more done in one week than the past several months. After that I started to oversleep, 12hrs at night + a nap in the afternoon. I have cut back on Remeron to 15mg to see if the sleepiness goes away.
> But, the lack of energy, interest and motivation are gone. I have no impulses, just dreaming of being rich and that kind of reality escaping thoughts. Now, is there any point in upping the Lexapro dosage to 15-20mg? Or should I switch to, say, fluoxetine?

What about ditching Lexapro? Also remeron is stimulating in higher dosages and sedating in lower. Upping the lexapro dosage will give you less energy not more.
