>Unless you mean to say it's making you anxious, an antidepressant will either make you tired or wired. Tired = bedtime, wired = daytime
. I like to default to daytime use unless I find it makes me tired. Celexa made me tired in the day too, and when I switched to PM dosing it removed that.
Lexapro, though, I think is causing me to wake up early in the morning, so I think I should switch to AM dosing

It makes me both tired and wired.
It's really weird.

Linkadge:
I was very happy to hear that Zoloft made someone else Tired and Wired at the same time. I have stopped taking after only 7 days because of this (only got to 25 mgs).
When I went to bed at night my heart beated fast and I could not fall asleep readily. During the day I had no energy whatsoever and felt that I had to put my head down at times. And remember this was only on 25 mgs!
So, my first attempt at solving my Mild Anxiety Issues (Social) and irritable personality (I have no patience, especially for traffic!), have gone by the wayside. This was my first attempt at trying an SSRI and I just don't know how people fucntion through the "normal" start-up maladies associated with them. I am in sales and I cannot afford to go through weeks of up and down moods - I get judged every month on performance and this would hurt, big-time.
Anyway, would like to hear more about your background and see if it mimics mine, at all. Maybe we can help each other out since we might have similar responses to the Zoloft. By the way, I am a 37 yo Male.
Thanks, in advance, for your response.
