I've been taking 10mg Lexapro for almost 3 weeks for anxiety and stress and I'm a zombie! I've been taking naps every chance I get and when I nap for 2-3 hours it feels like it's only been 5 minutes. I'm getting nothing done which is only adding to my stress. I have been taking the Lexapro in the morning and wonder if I should switch it to the night. When do you others take it?? I went to my doctor today and he wants to switch me to Effexor. After reading what everyone has written about the withdrawal of this med, I'm very hesitant to switch. I've tried many meds before the Lexapro and they always seem to sedate me too. Did anyone else have this side effect with Lexapro and did it go away or has anyone had success with anything that hasn't sedated them when all other meds have? I'd really appreciate any advice - I'm not sure what to do at this point and I'd really like help with my anxiety.
