Taking lexapro (escitalopram) 20 and buspirone 15mg x2 and both make me soo sleepy and tired i can't funcin. i take them at nigh bfr bed 1hr apart. is it best in am?

Schedule apart.: If they both make you sleepy, you should take it in the evening. You could take your Lexapro after supper, the Buspar (buspirone) after lunch and an hour before bedtime.This should help. If you are still sleepy, just take the Lexapro as it helps your depression and anxiety and see if that works better. Take care.
