I, too, got really tired on Lexapro. My doc put me on a higher dose of it for awhile thinking maye it was the depression. That just made the tiredness worse, so we determined it was a side effect of the Lexapro. We brought my Lex dosage back down and then added 100mg of Wellbutrin SR, and that seemed to help with the tiredness. Problem was, if I didn't take enough Lexapro, the Welbutrin made me a little anxious. So, it was a matter of balancing the two just right- you might want to discuss options with your doctor like adding a tiny bit of Welbutrin to take along with your Lex to see if it helps with the tiredness- worked for me.
