My heart goes out to you. It didn't seem to matter whether I took it in the morning or the evening, sleep was impossible either way. I tried melatonin, but it didn't help, tried chamomile tea with mint, didn't help. The only thing that has worked is the Clonazepam. It helped immediately with the anxiety without zoning me completely out like the Xanax. I don't want to speak ill of your doctor, but if I had a doctor yelling at me, I have to say I'd be finding a new doctor with a bit more understanding of this. You have to experience it to know how debilitating this can be. As far as the thyroid, I have hypothyroidism and am on Synthoid, but don't know the effect of having it taken out. My heart goes out to you. Please hang in there and find the right combination that works for you even if it means going to another doctor.

> I have been on Lexapro for a little over a year...started with 10mg and was increased to 20mg about a month ago. I take it in the morning, but am wondering if it's better at night..sleep better? I do feel anxiety as well..I saw my doctor yesterday and he YELLED at me that I take homeopathic stuff to help me sleep, like "Quietude" or Bach's Rescue Remedy..also I told him I take calcium with magnesium and Gaba and he flipped out on me...obviously, nothing should be taken with Lexapro..also, I had my thyroid removed in 1999...AND in menopause without taking any HRT........HELP!!! Seems like any little thing makes me anxious or depressed..sometimes just blue..sometimes up and down...yesterday I wanted to just die..if I had to do it over, i'd NEVER have my thyroid taken out..just cold nodules on it..better to have biopsy every year..taking it out is the WORST thing..anyway, thanks for letting me vent..I would love to hear from somebody..anybody..
