Discuss with doctor: When did you start on Lexapro (escitalopram)? Was it just recently? What time do you take it? For some, Lexapro (escitalopram) is better tolerated when taken earlier in the day. Although it doesn't commonly cause insomnia, it can be a potential side effect. Other medications and medical conditions need to be considered. Practicing appropriate sleep hygiene is essential. Recommend discussing with doctor first. Best.
