You need to give the Lexapro more time. I also switched from Celexa to Lexapro. I did very well on 60 mg Celexa and am now doing even better on 20 mg Lexapro. Don't take Celexa along with the Lexapro.
Maybe an Adderal increase will help your tiredness. Also, ask your doc about adding Wellbutrin. That is also good for tiredness.
I was tired until about 6 weeks a go. That's when I started eating one ounce of dark chocolate each day around 10 am. It gives me energy all day and I also lost a couple of pounds because it makes me feel full. According to articles I read, it has to be dark chocolate, not milk chocolate because of the flavinoids in dark chocolate.
Don't try another AD right now. Wait until you have been on 20 mg Lexapro for at least a couple of months.
