> hi reichdon, are u still tired on lexapro at all- ie feel like sleeping during the day?

I really don't feel very tired. I like to take only a 20 minute nap in afternoon if I can but I wake up refreshed and not that druggy feeling that Prozac and Celexa gave me. I am also okay if I can't have my nap. About 4 hours after taking Lexapro I feel a little less energetic, but not exhausted or anything.

Also on Celexa I lost my motivation to do anything - I got lazy - and on Lexapro I feel more motivated. But I am on only 2.5 mg a day so that is a tiny bit. I am extremely sensitive to any medication so I have to take it easy on dosage.

The tricky think is, however, that people respond so differently to the same medication; Lexapro might be different for you. Maybe you could start with a small dose and see how you feel.

Best of luck and, if you can, let me know how it turns out for you.
