I have been on Lexapro for three weeks now. I have a very chronic problem with insomnia and lately have had a fear of being in a car in heavy traffic. Was given 10 mg of Lexapro along with 50 mg of Trazodone for sleep. The first night I took the Trazodone, it left me barely able to function and I was taken off of it. I was always so exhausted on 10 mg. of Lexapro that my internist said I could go to 5 mg. I have been on 5 mg from Day 2 and I still find that I am extremely tired from about 6:00 p.m. on. The Lexapro seems to act as a sleeping pill for me. I don't notice any other side effects. I have noticed that I don't feel thirsty anymore, and drink very little water/liquids. I don't know if this is because of the Lexapro...
I function Ok during the daytime (much as I did eveng bein sleep-deprived.) Occasionally, I take Lorezepam when I can't get back to sleep. I am not quite sure if I belong on Lexapro...I have never been diagnosed with depression and other than the car thing, I have no other anxieties. I am a worrier (five children)
