Citalopram 20mg-lexapro 10mg
(Newest replies first)

I had been taking Citalopram 20mg for 8 months. I began taking it for anxiety, agitation, hormone type issues. Although it absolutely helped all of the symptoms that I complained of, the drowsiness side effect is too much. I feel like I am completely worn out all the time. I don't have the energy to exercise, therefore I have gained 10 pounds. My doc has switched me to Lexapro 10mg and I have been taking it for a week now. I already have far more energy than I had on Citalopram. Just hope it is as effective for my original symptoms.

Did I read you right /Clonazepam/20 mg I've never heard Clonazepam in 20mg tablet do you mean 2mg x 10 once daily ' I'm not messing with you I'm interested ' my doctor or 40 years has always told me 2 mg is the highest range in one pile. I need to check this out with other doctor. thanks for sharing . 20 mg would cause some very series issues .

Are you still doing well on the Lexapro?

What type of hormone issues are you having?

If your hormones are in flux enough to cause those types of symptoms, such as what can happen with perimenopause or menopause, then that is also what might have been causing you to feel some of the tiredness.

Hormonal fluctuations often cause disruptions in your sleep cycle, even if you don't actually realize it's happening. They can even do it just by making you have to get up and go to the bathroom more frequently at night.
