> I know someone on here commented on the sleepiness. I have been very sleepy since being on the lexapro and upping it to 10 mg from 5. Has anyone had this problem and had it go away?Hi there, many lexapro users have the sleepy problem. It may over time go away at 10mg. When I went from 5 to 10 it made me feel like a zombie. So much so during the day I thought I might pass out and go into a coma or something. I tried for about a week and could not take that dose anymore. I had to move back to 5mg and then after the tiredness went away I moved up to 7.5mg. I have been there for months and it seems to be my magic dose. This is my experience and may not be an option for you. Only time will tell where your magic dose is!!! You might also try switching the time of taking your med. Some even cut into fourths and take it different times of the day. This can be tricky because you can easily miss taking it at the right times. Talk to your doc!!! TAKE CARE!!!!!!!!
