Hi Chris2323, I've been on 15mg Lexapro for 5 years and have never felt so energetic. Medications affect everyone in a different way. When I was on a benzo med with it, I was always falling asleep. Check with your doctor as to any other meds you may be on causing that. xx

Thanks for the reply I'm only on lexapro I was energetic for awhile but back to be tired all the time again a friend said upping the dose might help or maybe try a good vitamin I just don't no 😏

As valachia-t stated, depression presents with tiredness more than anxiety. Your doctor will be the best judge in knowing if your medication needs to be adjusted. Let us know what your doctor suggests. xx

I take 15mg of Lexapro. I started off at 10, but really 5, because I cut it in half, because I was afraid I would have some kid if side effect. I was so tired them, I was tired before I started, and I am so tired now. My doctor said it's probably depression.
