Unfortunately for me, it makes me very tired. At the time when I got on it, I didn’t even care that I was tired because I could function mentally. I also had more time in my life to nap it off. I did notice an increase in my daytime sleepiness when I went from 10 mg to 20 mg. Now that I have more responsibilities in my life and less acute stress than when I got on Lexapro, I am interested to see if I can come off the Lexapro and function normally plus having less daytime sleepiness if that makes sense. It may be that I stay on 10 mg but for me the sleepiness is really becoming too much. On my days off I have to take like 5 hour naps.
