Thanks so much for your reply gabrielle. Yep, I definately have depression-no doubt about it. I'm about ready to finish up week 2 on Lexapro @10mg a day. I've been taking it at night the last few nights and didn't sleep a peep. I took it this morning and slept ALL day! I feel a tad better tonight-although still depressed a little. I also take Lamictal and Topamax and Klonopin. I also bought Unisom to help me sleep last night-did not work at all! I tried Restoril doesn't work well for me. I think I will call my doctor and see if he can give me Ambien-10mg of that stuff at night and I sleep great with no hangover in the morning. I really hope Lexapro doesn't fail me.
Thanks agin so much for your reply,
GalIt sounds like you have classic symptoms of depression.
I would give the Lexapro a couple of more weeks.
If your symptoms persist, I suggest requesting a different drug OR adding something else to the Lexapro.
You might want to request a perscription for "restorall" (sp?) I take this for occasional insomnia (as I am on ritalin) and it seems to work well without being addictive.
I hope you feel better soon,
gabrielle
