Thanks Capri, I'm currently taking 2mg of Klonopin for sleep and last night took Benadryl (allergies) and slept quite well-before I knew it-it was morn. Do you remember gaining any weight on Lexapro?
Thanks so much for your help.

I am very sensitive to meds though so don't take my side effects too seriously. I also had terrible insomnia the first 10 days or so and increased panic symptoms (which I didn't have on other SSRI's). You should try to get some Klonopin, Ativan, etc. I took a Klonopin every night with my Lex for the first 10 nights and I got a great night sleep. After 10 days I fell asleep on my own with no Klonopin and no problems.
