A member asked:
Does lexapro (escitalopram) make you tired? if so should i take in the morning or at bedtime? given its potential to affect sleep and dream patterns.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most people not: I would say most people it does not make them sleepy so generally recommended for morning use. If it does make you sleepy (and some people it does), take at night. Either way, it is a 24 hour drug so it will affect sleep structure either way.
