Initial side effects (like feeling tired) generally last a few days to a few weeks.
In clinical studies, many patients treated with Lexapro began to feel better within 1 or 2 weeks, although the full effect may take 4 to 6 weeks. You should follow up with your healthcare professional and report your progress.
Lexapro is well tolerated by most people. The most commonly reported side effects of Lexapro are nausea, insomnia, problems with ejaculation, somnolence, increased sweating, fatigue, decreased libido, and anorgasmia. Most of the side effects experienced by patients taking Lexapro are mild to moderate and go away with continued treatment, and usually do not cause patients to stop taking Lexapro.
Talk w/ your MD if it doesn't go away or if it starts feeling worse.
Good luck! :)

I took one pill (Lexipro)and I felt like I was trippin on acid.You may be taking the wrong medicine.Call your doctor and tell him or her how you feel.Maybe a switch to a different kind will work better for you.I am now on Zanax(low dose) and it's working good for me.I feel calm all day but not spaced out.Whatever you get from the doctor,take it in the evening around 1pm.Try breaking it in half to see how it will affect you.Each person's body is different and it may not take as much for you as for others.I was having panic attacks but now it seems to be getting better.Hope this helps and good luck.

Try taking it at night before you go to bed. This should limit the amount of tiredness you feel during the day.
Your doctor will probably say same thing. Give him a call.
If that does not work, ask him about Provigil and whether you can take it or not. It will help keep you awake and it is not an amphetamine.

Ask you doc to give you another med if it keeps up for about another week. I had the same prob. Different meds different side affects

Go natural. Read my page and what Psychology Today has to say about glyconutrients.
