> I know someone on here commented on the sleepiness. I have been very sleepy since being on the lexapro and upping it to 10 mg from 5. Has anyone had this problem and had it go away?You might also try changing the time you take dose. I started in the morning, fell asleep @ 7PM. Moved to afternoon and that worked for a while, then in the evening. Now at 6mos. and am back to taking at 8AM....trial and error, and waiting for my body to get used to the meds.
The initial *sleepyness/insomnia* side effect usually goes away after 4-5 weeks, but everyone is different!!!
Good luck~~~8|8
