[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I take Lexapro for anxiety related insomnia. However, my MD prescribed me Klonopin for sleep issues until the Lexapro fully kicked in (about a month later). Now, I sleep like a baby. I can even nap during the day :) I would keep taking the Lunesta (or ask for a different med) for a few more weeks before giving up. Lexapro helps me SO much. Hope it helps you too![/quote] PP here, I did not have any initial insomnia (any worse than I was already experiencing) but I have heard that some SSRIs can cause anxiety to peak before it falls.[/quote] Thank you! I think I will keep trying it. I just wish I knew whether this weird stretch past few days is my normal Lunesta waking (combined with switching to a lower dose of lunesta) or a side effect of the lexapro. Just frustrating to not know what to do, but these are both encouraging responses.[/quote]
