I just started Lexapro 3 weeks ago….
Hi,
I am a new member. I started 10 mgs of Lexapro three weeks ago
becuase I had severe anxiety and insomnia. My doctor suggested
Ambian for the sleeplessness but only for 10 days (as it is not a
long term drug). It helped me sleep but I felt ‘drugged’ the next
day. I am not taking it anymore. But I do wake up a few times a
night but fall back to sleep fairly easy. I just wish I could get a
full 7 hrs sleep!! Could this be from the Lexapro? I feel that it
has helped my anxiety. I also have heartburn at night.
I was on Paxil about 2 years ago but weaned myself off (after one
year). I did not like the side effects of Paxil.
Any feed-back would be appreciated…thanx!
