Note: I am currently peri-menopausal and going through all kinds of issues right now: hot flashes, tingly sensations, dizzy spells, mood swings, depression, horrible anxiety and panic attacks, heaviness in my chest, night sweats/cold sweats, and so on.

If feeling the symptoms building up in me now over the last few weeks is any indication, then they are right and I need to go back on the Lexapro. I just CANNOT function with the sleepiness.
Has anyone switched to taking this at night and seen an improvement in your daytime energy level?

I have plenty if energy during the day and never have had a hard time functioning at my job. The only side effect I had that was bothersome was dry mouth but my body has adjusted to that now that I've been on it for 2 months.
My best to you!
