Lexapro dose change / Tiredness

[poppies0124]

Hello everyone. Just looking for some thoughts and any opinions here on my current situation.

I had been on 10mg of Lexapro since March 2016. It helped me quite well, and I had little to no negative side effects, except for tiredness which I found pretty tolerable. Besides, being depressed pretty much means I feel tired all the time, so I really didn’t see it as a disadvantage.

About 4 and a half months go I upped my dose to 15mg, as I noticed my low moods, despair, and loss of interest was back. It helped in curbing those thoughts...but boy I have been so..so tired.

To be honest, I can’t be sure if it’s because of the upped dose, because this tiredness only seemed to really settle in about 2-3 weeks ago. When I first started with my new dose I did not feel any noticeable change from my old dose.

It has really been eating into my daily life. I just want to lay in bed all day and veg out. Would love to hear any thoughts from anyone who’s been through a similar experience, particularly on the same medication.

Thanks everyone.

Everyone body is different with different dosages. One time when I was so full of anxiety, my dr. Upped my dosage from 20 mg to 30. I felt really weird, saying things I would never say. I told him, and he said that the higher dosage was toxic to my system, so he lower it to 20 mg. Talk to your dr. again how your feeling. He most likely change the dosage ❤️
