what time of day to take lexapro?

Posted by mopey on November 20, 2002, at 11:46:46

Hi. I'm sorry if this has already been discussed, but I've been away from the board for a while.

Doc has prescribed Lexapro. She said to take it in the morning, but I wondered about at night because I tend to be very sensitive to medications.

Anyone have suggestions/recommendations?

Thanks!

I take Lexapro in the morning. It doesn't appear to make me tired. But at least one person on this board takes it at night.

When I went on Celexa (similar drug), my doctor told me to start with morning, but that some people were "morning people", some were "night people", and a few were "midafternoon people" with regard to this drug. So you may have to experiment. I was a morning person with Celexa, though I take my Remeron at night.
