Actually sometimes I feel *better* in the evening when the Lex is leaving my body. Sometimes the "activating" effect of the Lex makes me extremely anxious, sometimes it leaves me exhausted, and sometimes it makes me happy. Then as it leaves my body at night I might feel calm, or I might feel depressed. It's a daily cycle every day but it's not always the same effects. The "up" isn't always good and the "down" isn't always bad.
Leaving tomorrow!
> Perhaps you could take 2.5mg of Lexapro morning and evening. If it were me, I wouldn't hold on too dearly to a notion that lowest possible dosage you can manage is best for you. I would not accept an afternoon relapse when using a higher dosage might obviate it. Perhaps more experimentation is in order.
