A member asked:
Is lexapro (escitalopram) more effective against depression if i take it in the morning?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: No the half life is longer than 24 hours so that shouldn't make too much difference what time you take the lexapro (escitalopram). However, if you find Lexapro (escitalopram) more stimulatory in the am that might make it more helpful to you side effect wise.
