Can i take lexapro (escitalopram) if i'm suffering from insomnia? will it make the insomnia worse? i think i need it for anxiety. will i gain weight from it?

Lexipro may: or may not interfere with your sleep; it's unlikely. However, your anxiety may indeed be a culprit in worsening it, making the case for treating anxiety with the lexipro. In addition to starting the lexipro, you may wish to discuss with your MD an investigation of your insomnia for targeted treatment of it. Lexipro can cause weight gain in some folks. Good luck!
