I have been on Lexapro for about 20 months now. I was wondering if anyone else taking lexapro feels tired. I also have hypothyroidism and i'm trying to work out if I am still feeling tired as a result of the hypothyroidism, even though my levels now are apparently good, or if it is the lexapro making me tired. Any thoughts?

I am currently on lexapro and have not noticed feeling more tired than normal. If I'm not mistaken it is a possible side effect, though.

I do seem to get tired with my lexapro so I take it at night. I have to take it about an hour before bedtime or I have a harder time getting up.

Lexapro caused me to be a little drowsy being that it is an anti-anxiety medication. I second taking it at night, this did help what I called my "day tired".

I know I'm kind of late replying to this but I wanted you to know that I am tired as well taking Lexapro. I LOVE IT but I have to sleep 9-10 hours a day to feel rested and I never feel like doing much of anything when I get home. I've become really lethargic and have to put forth a lot of effort to get simple chores done. If I had it my way I'd fall asleep on the couch when I got home every day. ;)
But I am scared to try any other meds, it seems like such a little side-effect to deal with.... :(

I actually found the opposite. Terrible insomnia, didn't sleep for a week...well, maybe an hour per night. Had to come off of it due to that and loss of apetite totally.

Anyone taking Lexapro? Did it help? Any side effects?

If anyone is taking Lexapro can you tell me if it's working for you and if you have side effects what are they?
