Yes, please do. It took 45 days for Lex to lift my depression. That is just slightly more than 6 weeks. So give it at least a couple of more weeks. I also was on Prozac for over 7 years before it pooped out. I was ready to quit the Lex because of extreme fatigue and insomnia, but now 7 weeks later, my unipolar depression is gone and only have slight insomnia and fatigue. I am sure given more time, the insomnia and fatigue will also subside. Good luck.

> Well, I've been on Lexapro for about a month, after experiencing the "Prozac Poop-Out" from being on it for 9 years, and then switching to Effexor for about 4 months, with some nasty side effects. I call myself Zombie Girl for a reason - my energy and motivation have been zapped, I am constantly tired, have memory problems, red blotches on my face, heavy sweating, irritability, neck pain, and the list goes on. I don't know what to do next. Should I stay on it a little longer to see if the SE's go away?
