Well I took my last nightime dose this morning instead of last night. I fell asleep MUCH easier, so I think that was the problem. Tomorrow in partial I am going to talk to the doctor about taking it in the morning or early afternoon. Since at night I would fall asleep in about 4 hours, I'm thinking at the very least if I took it 4 or 5 hours before bedtime I might be OK (Either the jitters wear off in 4 hours... or else maybe by 4 hours my bodies fight to sleep won out over the jitters? So maybe the morning is still better.)

In any case so far I don't feel sleepy from the morning dose (I took it about an hour and a half ago) but I'll watch and see how I feel. It might be difficult because I feel so sleepy during the day anyway. Also I take Wellbutrin in the morning so maybe the Wellbutrin will counteract the Lexapro sleepiness. Or something. But I'm thinking maybe the Lexapro just doesn't make me sleepy.

Anyway a lot to consider. I still feel like this is a good medication combination for me depression-wise... if I can also solve the insomnia problem I may be on a good road. Only problem left may be the tiredness I feel during the day. If that is depression related, maybe if and when I can get my finances straightened up, and that stress reduced, maybe I will be less sleepy. If it is a medical problem, I still have a doc appt to schedule, so maybe he can shed some light on it and find a solution for me.
