Lexapro and Sleeplessness.. Trazadone.

Hi Peterans, and again, welcome!

Good to see you starting your own post, so we can get to know you better and provide some feedback and support.:)

I assume you have tried switching your dosage time to as early in the day as possible? As well as using coping skills before bed such as Progressive Muscle Relaxation and meditation to help you get the best sleep possible?

If so, and you are still struggling. ..

...hopefully between your P-doc and your GP...you will come away Monday with a good game plan.

This is a pretty common coming with Lex...but if you can get through the initial challenges, you could end up with a med that performs well for you (again)...

...so weighing your options, and talking with your doctors will hopefully help with your decision.

Let us know how it goes okay?

S.C.

Hi


Welcome to the forum.

Lexapro can cause sleep problems so it is best to take it first thing in the morning.

There are lots of options re sleep meds so talk these through with your pdoc and keep us posted on your progress.
