It has been 20 days since I started Lexapro. I started with 10 mg for 1 week and increased to 20 mg thereafter. The fatigue was almost unbearable for me also. In fact, I have been sleeping and lying down watching TV night and day as I was too tired and totally unmotivated for the first 15 days. I am still feeling fatigued, but it appears to be lessening. I see my pdoc on Wednesday. Hopefully, I will feel even better. If not, I will ask about a dose increase or possibly augmenting with another med to reduce fatigue SE and increase AD effect. How will Adderal affect Lexapro's effectiveness as an AD? Will it reduce the fatigue SE? Thanks.FST
