Oh yea!! I worked really good but it made me sleepy, I could have slept all day if I had the oppourtunity. I was having panic attacks in my sleep which would case me to wake up constantly and then I would get depressed from the lack of sleep, so the being sleepy on the Lexapro did not bother me because I was finally able to sleep. Try taking it at night before you go to sleep. That might help because if you take it in the morning, it will make you tired all day, but if you take it at night you might sleep off the tired feeling and have more energy in the day. Also, when I weaned off the Lexapro, I took me about a month and a half and I had no side effects during the weaning process. Just don't stop cold turkey. If or when you try to wean off, I can give some good pointers on the process.

∙ 14y agoNo, not at all. - It would be nice to know who wrote this, meaning how many milligrams are they taking and for how long. I recently increased from 10-20mgs and feel tired all the time. I'll be talking to my doc to see if there is a relation to this issue.

∙ 14y agoYes! Everyone has a different dosage threshold, but if you are experiencing fatigue, sluggishness and brain fog while taking Lexapro, ask your psychiatrist. Yes, psychiaterist rather than your regular physician. Often doctors outside of the mental health arena are not adequately trained to understand the ramifications of drugs like SSRIs, unfortunately. While taking Lexapro and other SSRIs, I was personally misdiagnosed by medical professionals on two occasions--these doctors meant well but simply did not understand the quirky effects of this class of drugs. In one of the instances, I sought help for crushing fatigue. The doctor put me on thyroid medication which caused a a number of unwanted results--it was my psychiatrist who recognized the problem, took me off the thyroid medication, reduced my dosage of Lexapro. Guess what? No more fatigue! The trick is to find that "magic" spot that relieves your symptoms while causing the least amount of side effects.
