Hi and welcome! I had insomnia the first few weeks on Lexapro. I take 10mg. It passed. In the meantime, I took OTC sleeping meds, it helped and I had no side effects from them. It's a long road with Lex for some, but it is so well worth it!!!!
There are many success stories here on it.
Even after almost 3 months, I still clench my jaw, I just try to become more aware of it to stop it.
I wish you the best and we're all here for you!
Hang in there and keep posting:-)

> Hi everyone. I just started 10 mgs of Lex for depression. This is day 4. I am a 35 year only female newly diagnosed with major depression. So far I haven't had much difficulty coping with the side fx, but the clenching is quite noticeable and the insomnia. I have periods where I sleep entirely too much or too little because of the agitation. I decided to switch my dose to 2 or 3pm after talking with my doc. Anyway, I feel this is a long road for me. I am already feeling much better, but the irrational thoughts still come and go. I'll keep you posted.
