Okay, well I've been on 10mg of Lexapro for over a month now. I just had a doctor's appointment to follow up, because the sleepiness is really getting in my way. I've been sleeping 12 hours/day for the past couple of weeks, still yawning all day, and if I lay down for even a few minutes, I fall asleep. He tested me for thyroid and... something else, I don't remember what. Blood sugar, I think. But aside from the sleepiness, I have to say that I FEEL WONDERFUL. In retrospect, pre-Lexapro, I was jittery before. I feel now like I'm the person I always should have been. I am speaking slower, I don't have racing thoughts (which, I actually kind of got an adreneline rush out of before, but glad they are gone now). And with all this sleeping, physically I feel fantastic and much healthier. I think I had been operating on sleep deprivation for years.

I'll keep you posted with the test results. He doesn't think that the Lexapro, at 10mg/day, should be making me this tired.
