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?

 

(hugs to you WAYNE) Keep on Keepin on :-) (nm)

Hi, how long have you been on Lexapro now? I started at 20mg flat out.

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!!!!!!!!

Hi, I have had insomnia almost every single night since I began the Lexapro almost 5 weeks ago. The Lexapro is helping the depression better than any SSRI I have ever been on so far.
What I am finding, from a suggestion here on the board, is to take either Tylenol PM, or Unisom Sleep Gels-both of which have that component HCI Diphenhydramine 50mg-it really wokrs, it's over the counter, and you don't feel groggy the next day-I don't anyways. Maybe give that a try?
Good luck!:-)

> Hello all. I have insomnia, no real depression that I can tell, and I have taken ambien for years. The doctor said no more, and has tried me on paxil, (disaster) and now lexapro. I did not sleep and I feel awful. What to do? Thanks Spot

My gp just said it was not good for me. He kept saying something about serotonin uptake dysfunction. When I told him I don't like anti-depressants, he mentioned that I get along well with valium. I use 5mg valium occasionally for stress rescue. I don't use it to sleep. What kind of doctor do I try to find. I hate feeling this way. I run a city and i can't afford to not be at the top of my game. I'm so new to this. Thanks, Spot

You might also try changing the time you take dose. I started in the morning, fell asleep @ 7PM. Moved to afternoon and that worked for a while, then in the evening. Now at 6mos. and am back to taking at 8AM....trial and error, and waiting for my body to get used to the meds.

The initial *sleepyness/insomnia* side effect usually goes away after 4-5 weeks, but everyone is different!!!

Good luck~~~8|8

Hi Trucker, thats one of the things Im grateful for is the return of my sense of humor. Yes it does protect me. Yes Im afraid to let people get to close to me for reasons you explain. You dont let people get close you cant get hurt right. Thats kind of sad though. Even on the computer I feel myself connecting with someone and I have to push myself away. I think if we keep going back and forth like this we will be redirected to psycho babble search for a friend match. LOL

Lexapro dosage questions? Why was I taking so much

OK so I have been catching up after my week of torture(mostly self inflicted)...I am having horrible withdrawls from the lex...I have constant chills and my head is killing me...switching back to celexa...because I yelled at my psych till he said ok...not going to be on that poison..


ANYWAYS...as I am reading through these posts I am looking at the dosages that you all are on...and I am wondering if there is a reason why I got started out at 30 mgs of lex a day when I see that most of you are on from 5-20...I know I am fat I weigh like 250...does that have something to do with it or is there some other reasons that I get such high doses...maybe I am being paranoid but is my condition more serious then they tell me or something...I mean I went up to 120 on the prozac...and i can NEVER get a straight answer from my psych...He thinks he is too smart for the world even tho my IQ is over 190 (GEEZ!!! I really despise that man...every session he says stuff like it's so nice to see that people have IQ's close to his..he's given me an IQ test twice...I really don't care that I can take tests well I just want to be normal again and not wake up every morning thinking I should be dead...OK gotta stop getting angry)..thank god he is leaving soon...anyone have any advice answers...would really appreciate it

Hi there, the wonderful world of shrinks!!!!!! Why are you on 30mg because your genius shrink is an ################ You pick a word because we are to be civil on this board. I had 4 shrinks in a few months. The reason why is because the first couple of meds were killing me. Good old allergic reactions of course the shrinks were telling me this will all go away. Family members would say the doctor said this and the doctor said that. What happened to me is very rare and not worth going into. But I ended up in the hospital and recovered. Started educating myself on everything I could find on the web. My favorites have over a 100 links on 3 screen names. I started asking simple questions that they should know answers to. Guess what they did not know crap. Did you know that a lot of doctors dont believe there are withdrawal symptoms. Some if you ask about side effects will just say they never heard that before. I will say this until I die for almost everyone you start at a low dose and work your way up. No doctor and no one knows what the right dose will be. People I chat with and get emails from weigh as much as you. I know antibiotics weight is considered when you are given a dose. But these meds are for the brain and most of the brain they still know nothing about. Im not sure weight is considered but this is possible. Women weighing 120 or so are taking 20mg. Dont know what my IQ is, but I do have some common sense!! I would have left that moron genius shrink of yours long ago. Second and third opinions are great if you have the resources. Bad thing is so many dont have the insurance or money and have to rely on a clinic or family doctor. I just hope and pray they get lucky!!!! I think I should stop here because I may say something I really regret even though I believe it would be true!!!!!! Hey, none of my anger is directed at you, its directed at shrinks and our society!!!! I wish you luck!!!!!! GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!

Yes I agree, was never much of a fan of *ups*, but that's how I felt too. Thankfully that feeling was another in the LONG list of se's that have gone away. Don't know if you've gone back in the thread, but somewhere in there I put several posts about that *speed* feeling because I was going nuts cleaning the house (toothbrush on my hands and knees cleaning in the corners!!!, etc.) and all kinds of yard work. My husband commented about it, so I know it was unusual. At least I put it to good use and got a LOT done!!!

How long have you been on Lex? I'm @20mg and into 6th month. Doing so MUCH better than I was at the beginning of the year!!! And it was a pretty horrible beginning.....had spent the month of Dec. moving into mother-in-law's house (diabetic 70yr. old, fell and broke hip) to take care of her. Jan. 1st, New Years's day and my Birthday, she had a terrible diabetic reaction and died while my husband and I tried to bring her out of it!!! Add in to that, I work for KMART, in a store that may be included in the next round of closings!

Despite all that, I'm keeping it *together* w/the help of Lex and encouragement from all the great people here.

Best of luck to us all.~~~8|8

I can't believe this!!! The literature, and drug co. both recommend a 10mg dose of Lex, and claim that *there is no significant difference* at 20mg. I was told by gyn doc to start at 5mg, which I did, and went to 10mg week 4. After a few mos., I started feeling *bad* again and asked to be raised to 20mg. Gyn doc refused, said 10mg was max dose!! Had to go to a pdoc to get the 20mg!! I agree that many of these so-called *professionals* are just bumbling idiots!

Starting at 30mg seems like madness to me, the se's at 5mg were so bad for me I can't even imagine what they would be like @30!!!!

I think you need a new doc, why is he so concerned about your IQ? It really seems to me you have been *misstreated*!!!

Number 1 CHEERLEADER!!! Thanks for the *testimonial*, as you can tell the 20mg has been good to me! Had a dry spell there for a bit as the 10mg gradually did less and less for me, I would read posts regularly, but just couldn't bring myself to be *social*, not feeling up to snuff.

Which once again raises concerns about the *poop-out* we've discussed before....still a BIG concern for me as I watched myself improve only to start backtracking again, and now improving at the higher dose. Will the same thing happen in a couple of months??? Will going to 30mg at that time have the same effects??? Just more stuff to worry about!!!

Hope we all continue to improve.~~~8|8

In reply to Lexapro side-effects , posted by dr dave on August 28, 2002, at 3:15:33

Hey everyone,

This is my first post, but I've visited the site a few times, researching side effects and withdrawal symptoms for the various anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds. Your comments were instrumental in my choosing to make a recent switch (3 weeks ago) from Zoloft to Lexapro.

Just wanted to share that I am doing fairly well with the Lexapro. I was on Zoloft for 1 1/2 years (75 mg/day) for major postpartum depression & anxiety but recently switched to Lexapro because I couldn't stand the sexual side effects of the Zoloft (nonexistent libido, inability to achieve orgasm). I am still taking 1.5 mg/day of klonopin for anxiety.

The most notable side effects I've experienced so far with Lexapro are nausea and severe headaches. The headaches improved when my pdoc reduced my dosage from 10 mg/day to 5 mg/day. Still struggling with nausea; however, I also take birth control pills which contribute to the nausea. The nausea "cure" seems to be eating a small snack in order to keep my belly full.

No apparent issues with weight gain, though I have always had to work hard to keep weight off (I'm only 5'1", with a muscular build but a tendency to get a tummy pooch). I am dieting & exercising and have lost 15 pounds in the past few months (10 lbs to go to reach pre-pregnancy weight of 123!).

Since the Lexapro, I feel less depressed than I have for a long time, and my husband says he really notices a positive difference in my personality--as if the "old me" is back. I have more energy and more interest in life, and am noticing a gradual return of my libido! Hooray!

Hopefully I will continue to do well on Lexapro and will be able to start decreasing the Klonopin soon. Of course, someday I hope to be off EVERYTHING and be my old self again.

Good luck to everyone in this terrible game of mood instability, drug cocktails, and intolerable drug side effects.

Peace.

Your nausea should begin to lessen and go away. I found that drinking lots of water helped me. The headaches too should be going away shortly, if they are an se. I took OTC for mine and that seemed to work. I think it was a very good idea to cut back to 5mg until your body gets used to the Lex, then go back up to 10mg.

It sounds like you are already beginning to feel the *benefits* of Lex and things should just get better from here.

Best of luck to you and keep us posted on your progress.~~~8|8
