A member asked:

Should i take the lexapro tonight when i have already taken my dose of lexapro today? it is to help with the feeling of tiredness during the day.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Drug dose change: Discuss with the doctor that prescribed the lexapro and ask whether the dose can be adjusted. I would need to know why you are taking the lexapro and for how long before I could give you a better answer.
