Sleep problems with Lexapro, Buspar

Posted by craigkay2026 @craigkay2026, Sep 24 7:04pm

I started Lexapro 5mg two weeks ago, along with buspar 15 mg twice per day for total of 30mg per day. I am experiencing awful insomnia. Doctor prescribed 3mg doxepin 3 days ago but it doesn't see to be working. Anyone else have this experience? Did you find a way of mitigating this problem?

Hi @lisalucier, Doxepin was not effective so my psychiatrist prescribed 50mg of Trazodone, which is working for me. Thanks for checking in!
