So I'm exhausted&depressed still  |
I'm on lexapro, it makes me want to sleep tho, went off of it for a couple months, until I was crawlin outa my skin...just wanted to be me for awhile. When I was off of it I could go on 4 hours of sleep, it was wonderful, and now I'm on it, wanna sleep all the time..so in the last week or so I decided to start taking it at night instead of morning, that seems to have helped, also when I absolutely know its gonna be one of the nights my mind isn't gonna shut down, I take melatonin, u can get it in the herbal vitamin section at drug stores, I usually take two once oi decide its gonna be sleepless night
