Fatigue / tired all the time

Treatment and medication
1

Hi all 

I’ve been on escitalopram 10mg (first week 5mg) for 12 weeks for stress related anxiety/depression. The effect is good particularly on anxiety. But I’m so so tired - could easily sleep 2h during the day and still go to bed at 9. But this is not feasible with a full time job and small kids. And I’m feeling more depressed - perhaps because of fatigue. I don’t know whether to increase the dose, and risk more fatigue. Any experience with this? Thank you!

That drowsiness certainly does linger. I was playing around with what time of day to take my 20mg, and the best time for me is 9pm. I was on 10mg for 3 wks and now 20mg for 2 wks. That drowsiness feelng is slowly going away. The benefits outweigh the drowsiness and libido thing. When/if you switch , talk to your doctor about wellbutrin.
