It is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that works by blocking the reabsorption of serotonin into the brain\u2014increasing the amount present.

Serotonin levels <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3026477\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">impact sleep patterns<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which may cause some people to sleep more and may cause some people to feel more alert. When serotonin levels are elevated, it can lead to difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or achieving restorative sleep, according to Dr. Girgis. This can cause daytime tiredness if you are awake during the night. Luckily, for most people, tiredness is temporary\u2014and there are strategies to minimize the negative impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"managing-lexapro-fatigue\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Managing Lexapro fatigue<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you experience fatigue within the first week or two of taking Lexapro, there are ways you can reduce the effects of it on your daily life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"change-your-medication-schedule\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Change your medication schedule<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should take Lexapro at the same time each day, but depending on how the medication affects you, you may want to adjust when you have your daily dose. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Lexapro is making you tired, ask your provider if you should try taking it before bedtime.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If it makes you feel more alert, taking it in the morning could be the best choice for you. Lexapro reaches peak blood concentrations around 5 hours after you take it and steadily declines after that. \u201cNo recent scientific research has assessed the right time to take Lexapro, but it is possible that reducing concentrations throughout the day could reduce insomnia,\u201d says Dr. Girgis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"ask-about-changing-the-dosage-or-your-medication\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask about changing the dosage or your medication<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prolonged fatigue when taking Lexapro could be a sign that your dose is too low (and not alleviating symptoms of depression) or too high (leading to side effects). If your tiredness lasts longer than two weeks, talk to your healthcare provider to see if a dosage change might help your sleepiness. Don\u2019t adjust the dosage on your own or stop taking the medication without medical advice. Discontinuing Lexapro suddenly can cause withdrawal symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If tiredness persists, your healthcare provider may want to prescribe a different type of antidepressant or a low dose of additional medication to help regulate energy during the day or sleep at night.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"practice-good-sleep-hygiene\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Practice good sleep hygiene<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cultivating <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhlbi.nih.gov\/files\/docs\/public\/sleep\/healthy_sleep.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">healthy sleep habits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help you get more shuteye, whether your sleep issues are due to psychiatric medications like Lexapro or not.

They might advise waiting a few weeks to see if your tiredness resolves. If you\u2019re still feeling fatigued, don\u2019t give up hope. There are many different medications, lifestyle changes, and therapies that can help treat depression.
