> i have been taking this for about 10 days. my depression had taken me to bed for about 2 months before i got medication. now i am getting very sleepy within 6 hours of taking the medicine. my dr. is out of town and his associate has not returned my calls. should i take the medicine in the evening. also i am getting constipated which i cant deal with. the medicine only made me feel a little better. what kind of antidepressant wont make me sleepy. i think i need to change.
Sandikay,
I have been on 10mg.of lex for 6 months & was very sleepy in the beginnig. At 5 months I was ready to throw the towel in but was reading all the posts on lex & found it does subside. As for the constipation I also have that & Dr. told me to take milk of mag-it took care of the problem. Give the lex time. I feel great on it. I take mine in the morning. I hope I was able to answer your questions.
