Has anyone experienced sleep loss due to taking Lexapro? I take a 3 mg melatonin. B4 bed.
I am on 10 mg taken daily at 8 am. How about High BP? Sometimes I notice a little lack of focus when we watch a movie. You thoughts?

I have taken Lexapro for years. I have sleep issues anyway so never have it a thought it might be worse due to drug plus tired all the time. Will certainly talk to Doc on Fri. And share what he says.

I found that taking Lexapro at dinner time rather than before bed helped my sleep problems. I also tried taking it at breakfast rather than before bed but I felt drowsy during the day.. Maybe experimenting with the time you take it will help. But be sure to do this gradually…just few hours earlier each day. Everyone is different! I also take Melatonin at bedtime as well as Clonazepam for restless legs.
