Ive been on Lex for six weeks now and everything everybody saying about Lexapro is what I went through. I had the problem with staying asleep and I to was prescribed ambien first 5mg and then my pdoc up'd it to 10mg and I would still not sleep all night. And that was first 3 or four weeks. And believe me I felt worse than ever. Than all of a sudden I just started getting really comfortable and relaxed at bed time and now I get into this real deep sleep and I have the wildest dreams some good, some bad but always interesting. And I will sleep all night without any ambien. But since I have pmdd Ive noticed that based on this week Im starting with the depression,agitation, anxiety and insomnia. I saw my pdoc yesterday he wants me to up my Lex to 20mg five days before my week before my period. So like for 12 days a month he wants me to take 20mg. I took my first 20mg this am with no side effects, and other than a slight agitation, mild depression and anxiety. I was alot better than I was yesterday. That could change at a moments notice though.
