Common Questions and Answers about Taking lexapro in the morning

lexapro

Avatar f tn I take .50 Klonopin in the morning w/ my 40 mg of Paxil (not a fan of this ssri). I'm busy taking care of my son in the am, dropping him off at the in laws, and then heading to work so being busy does help. On occasion I take half of my Klonopin at night to help as prescribed. I stay away from Xanax because it's short acting and the Klonopin does the same thing but lasts longer. Management of medication and seeing a therapist has helped most.
1302779 tn?1287405029 I started lexapro 2 weeks ago 5 mg the first week and now on 10 mg. i also take klonopin 05 mg in the am and the script says 2 05 mg at night but i dont take the klonopin at night cause i dont feel i need it.
Avatar f tn Thanks for your support. It is amazing how I'm so hyper in the morning but at night is so much better. You said that your on medication, isn't,t that supposed to stop the panic attacks in the morning. I was thinking of going on zolft, but if my panic attacks are still going to continue why bother taking anything. In the morning I say to myself that I'm fine and as the day passes it will get better. I tired of sitting home and not doing anything. I was such an out going person.
Avatar f tn However, I think taking all the med on a distressed stomach may have injured it more. I now have unbearable stomach pain at night and nausea in the morning. I have been up four hours with the pain. I am tempted to go back on paxil to see if it really is a miracle that could cure my stomach, but am scared to make the pain worse. I am sorry I have no real advise, jut know that you are not alone.
1302779 tn?1287405029 05 mg at night and .05 in the morning. but that was when my anxiety was higher at nite. now its high in the morning and i take 1 .
Avatar m tn Everything came back ok, but i still suffer from the morning vomiting. He says its just acid reflux, but why wont the prilosec work? It can completely go away by lunch or it can continue for the entire day until i can finally keep something down. Sometimes its happens the night after of drinking, but not always so i think it is something else. maybe allergic to some type of food? Please any advise is welcomed and so appreciated. Im way too young to be dealing with this crap.
1295419 tn?1276822872 It gradually gets better the longer I am up but I was curious if anyone else feels more anxious as soon as they wake up in the morning?
Avatar f tn Well the good new is a resting of 60-65, that's agreat HR, suggests to me a strong cardiovascular... but why the higher HR when active, this suggests the opposite. Metoprolol (any beta blocker) can cause dreams, described as "vivid". I have that problem myself, but I take a much larger dose of BB, 100 mg... and as much as 100 mg twice a day. Still, I am not sure the BB is causing the dreams, even on my part. But, it dreaming started when you went on BB, it is the likely cause.
Avatar m tn I skipped the next day and took it in the morning the following morning. I like taking it in the morning because it makes me calm throughout the day and I can still sleep at night. The first time I took it at night I didn't sleep well. Now I take it at 8am every morning and then I am asleep at night around 10-11pm without any help of sleeping pills. It really just depends on how you feel for which time of the day, you probably already know that since you have been taking Prozac.
Avatar f tn I think you are taking the right approach in dealing with your depression first, as HCV treatment can cause depression especially with people who have suffered from depressive episodes before. You want to be as mentally stable and strong as you can before starting treatment. If your stomach pain continues you should contact your doctor. Tell him or her that you are having stomach pain and nausea.
Avatar f tn 5 mg of Lorazapam at night. I used to take my Lexapro first thing in the morning, but by the middle of the day, I would have a horrible head ache, so my Dr. recommened taking it at night, with the hopes that I would sleep through any headaches or neausea. I made this switch this past Saturday and last night, I had some sleep issues and nervousness in the middle of the night. I am wondering if the Warfarin and the Lexpro together in my stomach may not be a good thing?
Avatar f tn I have been experiencing its wrath for the past two days. I just began taking it, and lexapro, and I began feeling like I was on crack. I thought it was the lexapro, so I stopped both for a couple of days. Then today I took the xanax this morning and I promise this has been the worst day of my life. I have been nauseous, shaking, been in a complete manic state all day. It was horrific.
Avatar f tn org/posts/Anxiety/Back-on-Cipralex-Lexapro/show/1557045 It chronicles his journey to getting better and what he felt with the lexapro he was taking. You will see how he was in the beginning and how great he was doing at the end. I know it is lengthy so maybe you can skip the posts that are not by CanuckGuy but try to at least read what he himself wrote.
233622 tn?1279334905 I went from Wellbutrin to the Lexapro. I have been on Lexapro in the past and it made me sleepy then. I am wondering if I should start taking it at might. Any one else take theirs in the evening?
Avatar f tn The tiredness eventually went away, yes. I'd say after the first few months. The Lexapro just stopped working for me, so I tried Zoloft, but that didn't help at all and gave me tremors. So, now I'm back on the Lexapro and it seems to be helping again. I just started taking mine before bed beginning today. I notice that when I take it in the morning, within an hour or two I can go back to sleep. So, today I held off and I just took it a while ago.
Avatar f tn I HAVE BEEN TAKING LEXAPRO FOR 5 DAYS NOW IN THE MORNING AND I SEEM TO BECOME VERY JITTERY AND SLEEPY. I FEEL LIKE I CAN'T FUNCTION . I AM ON IT FOR DEPRESSION. IS THIS NORMAL AND WILL THESE SIDE EFFECTS GO AWAY ? SHOULD I TAKE THE LEXAPRO AT NIGHT BEFORE BED ?
Avatar f tn Escitalopram is used in the treatment of depression and anxiety. It is sold under the trade names Lexapro, Cipralex, Sipralexa, and Seroplex. Lexapro discontinuation, particularly abruptly, may cause certain withdrawal symptoms such as paresthesia (for example, electric shock sensations also known as "brain shivers" or "brain zaps"), dizziness and irritability.
Avatar m tn I took Lexapro (for 6 mths) in the morning. I dun feel groggy and jittery. How long have you been taking Lexapro?? If you are just starting taking it...give your body some time to accept the medcine. But if this concern you yes pls. speak to your Dr..
Avatar n tn I have a question I have been on lexapro for 3 weeks now and the first week was all good no side effects, I believe i had a placebo effect becasue i seemed happier, but then after two weeks of taking it my anxiety came back worse then ever. I have GAD. I take the lexapro in the evening around 8. I wake up in the morning with severe anxiety that usually calms down around noon, then i have mild anxiety for the rest of the day. After the morning episodes I feel worn out, tired.
Avatar n tn spent the day in the basement away from everyone... kids wondered why, on a gorgeous day, I was away from everyone. Maybe I am depressed and upset I don't have vicodin anymore...
Avatar m tn Very interesting you just posted this. I got on this morning to ask the same question. I feel like I have a pretty good handle on my anxiety during the day, but I wake up with a strange fear feeling every morning as well. I am also taking Lexapro. Once I get up and going, I'm usually ok, but upon waking, I am extremely nervous and afraid, but not of anything in particular. I'd love to hear from others. I've also wondered if it is just general anxiety causing this or the meds.
Avatar m tn Introduction to Lexapro: Lexapro, the brand name for escitalopram, is a widely prescribed medication known for its effectiveness in managing mood disorders. This antidepressant, belonging to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class, offers several benefits to those struggling with conditions like major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. https://buylexaproonlinepharmacy.weebly.
Avatar f tn s a great medication but it requires time to fully kick in and then you will see the benefits if it is the medication for you.It's an SSRI and it helps with depression.It may take 4 to 6 weeks before you see any real change whereas benzo work almost right away.
Avatar n tn Good point. It's strange because when I have good days, with no depression, and wake up without that feeling of a heavy weight of sadness on my chest, I still feel very fatigued - and that in itself can lead to feelings of depression that weren't there at the moment of awakening. It's like the chicken and the egg - which came first? Does the extreme aching and fatigue cause depression or does the depression cause the fatigue? I could go around in circles like that forever!
Avatar f tn m a little afraid of the seroquel. i develpoed a bad twitching in the right side of my face from the abilify. and it was only 1mg. hope someone has some answers.
Avatar m tn Ive started on Lexapro and have been taking it for the past 8 days. Im wondering how long it takes to kick in. Has anyone had good results with Lexapro for anxiety? Also should i be taking something else with it? I take Valium when needed but i dont know if that is a good option. Ive been living with my perents since i started on the Lexapro. Ive been off work for the last week and am finding hard even to get out the house. Any help would be appriciated.
Avatar f tn I took 1 10mg lexapro this past Tuesday at 8am. By later that day I was having the worst anxiety that I have ever had in my life. Wednesday morning was no better felt like I was having a total break down. I of course did not take another pill since Tuesday, but the anxiety and panic attacks are still there wont go away. It is interfering with my normal everyday life.
Avatar f tn t it just depends on your system. maybe you should take it in the morning if you are taking it at night or vice versa. also my aunt takes lexapro every other day and it works great for her....she is FULL of energy!!!
