New member, be honest with me!
I am on day six of lexapro. The sleepiness is overwhelming. I also have a very dry mouth in the morning and things taste sharper.
Does the sleepiness get better? I laid down for what I thought was thirty minutes today and couldn’t believe the clock said I’d slept for two hours.

Kathie :
I am just around 2 weeks and went thru the same thing. What did it
the most for me was the realization that I didn’t NEED to take it at
bedtime. I started taking it in the mornings and I sleep like a rock
now. It doesn’t make me dizzy or lightheaded (I have a 75 minute
commute to work so I couldn’t do that if it did me wrong). In fact
it feels like I had a cup or two of coffee. I was waking up at
3:30am every day sweating so much my sheets would be soaked, and
could NOT get back to sleep. I was feeling so bad during the day but
I think that was from loss of sleep more then the med’s. Since I
have switched to taking it in the mornings things are sooooo much
better. Can’t guarantee it would work for you, but you message
sounds like mine a week ago.
Good luck!
