Hi Cindy Lou,
Do you take Lexapro at night or in the morning? Do you take it all at once? It looks as if you take Prozac at night.
When I was on Celexa, I couldn't function at all if I took it during the day, but when I took it at night, I always woke up in the middle of the night at the exact same time, and I'd remain awake for two hours, no matter what I did to try to fall back to sleep. I just had to wait out those two hours, which meant I had to sleep two hours later in the morning in order to get enough sleep.
Another problem I had on Celexa was that when I was awake in the middle of the night during those two hours, I would feel ravenous, but it didn't feel like the healthy, true hunger that I have after swimming or other exercise. On Celexa, I had a most unpleasant kind of gnawing, edgy "hunger" that no particular food and no amount of food could satisfy. It was most unpleasant. I would also sweat profusely during that time. I guess the blood levels of the drug were peaking then. Whatever was happening, it never got better, so I finally stopped it.
