I take lexapro also. I think it is normal. Lexapro is a drug designed to help with depression as well as anxiety. It is one of the best new drugs around. Keep taking it, If it continues to make you tired after a couple of more weeks, then see your doctor. Because it may not be the drug for you.

As far as I know, it's normal. I had bad side effects for the first week or so, especially tiredness and an upset stomach. I've been on it for almost 10 months now and I'm fine. The side effects only kicked in again when my dose was raised. BUT, some people never get over the tired feeling when on Lexapro so you'll just have to wait it out and see what happens.

I also take Lexapro.....You probably should not be taking it at night...There is a website that you can go to for information about it....www.LEXAPRO.com. I'm sorry I can't tell you very much about it. I've only been taking it for several weeks, maybe a month myself but I haven't had quite the problems that you seem to be having....but as I said probably if you will start taking it during the day and not at night maybe you will see a good change.
Good luck with it, hope the website can answer some of your questions and also after you learn some on the site maybe you should call your doctor and tell him what's going on and maybe he can give you some insight as to why and what to do about it.
If you want to talk, email or im me.
