> > This is my first time on anti-depressants. I took 5 mg for 2 days and then went to 10mg which I have been taking for 5 days now. Prior to the Lexapro I was taking sleeping pills. I hoped that the lexapro would eliminate the sleeping pills. I take the dosage at 5pm and I don't get sleepy. I still have to take my sleeping pill. Does lexapro increase insomnia? On a brighter note, I was more depressed the first couple of days but now I feel much less depressed.

> * glad to hear its working...i would suggest taking it in the morning so as to avoid the possibility of insomnia (occurred at 9% in studies)I staret taking it in the mornig tomorrow so as not to miss my dose today. I'll keep you informed.
