"lexapro made me very tired all the time. i needed a daily midday nap. i&#039;m a college student so i was able to sleep at odd periods of the day, but it was ridiculous. i could get a solid 10 hours of sleep at night but by 1 pm i&#039;d be dead tired. one time i was late picking up a kid i used to babysit from her elementary school because i fell asleep and slept through my alarm in the middle of the afternoon!! i was never the type who could take naps until i started lexapro. i didn&#039;t stay on it for more than 6 months because being that tired all the time was ruining my social life, grades, work life, the list goes on."
