Thanks Harryp for responding. I did try Prozac a long time ago and it too, made me extremely tired. I have tried many SSRI's and I have had the same side effect with all - extreme tiredness. All I can ever think about is when I can take my next nap!
Anxiety and stress are mostly my problems although I have some depression too. I feel like if I could get a handle on the top two problems then the depression would go away. I will definitely check out klonopin but not sure I'm ready for an MAOI yet. I want to try other things first although I have read about many successes with it on this board.
My insurance did deny the Provigil today so my doctor is going to call tomorrow to see if he can get it approved with a phone call.For now though, I'm sticking with the Lexapro and switching to taking it at night and hopefully that will help with my sleepiness during the day.
Warmly,
LisaMichelle
