![]() Sometimes I can go back to sleep, but sometimes I just lay in bed until it's time to get up.ĭoes anybody have similar experiences? Is it safe to stop taking the medication, I want to see if I'm going to sleep normally again? I don't really feel depressed. I suggest you speak with you Psychiatrist. Anyway I fully empathize with you, sleep depravation has even been used as torture. After 10 days of taking Celexa I am sleeping much better on the nights when I have to get up and go to work in the morning, but I keep waking up every night, sometimes at 2 am, sometimes 3am, usually after 3-4 hrs of sleep. I was on Lexapro, did not experience potential side effects, too bad for me I suffer from insomnia for over 25 years, have good and bad nights, well there are people suffering from musch worse things in life. ![]() When I tried to increase my dose to 20 mg of Celexa I felt really bad for 2 days and I just stayed on my 10mg dose. I had a headache every morning after celexa for a week. I took Ambien couple of times but since it makes me a little bit spaced out at 6'o clock when I have to go to work, I stopped taking it. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 71,855 people who have side effects when taking Lexapro from the FDA, and is. The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people take Lexapro and have Insomnia. Sides Effects The majority of the side effects I have experienced are bad headaches, insomnia (with crazy dreams), anxiety. My first week on Celexa was fine, I was waking up at night but only for a couple of minutes. Insomnia is found among people who take Lexapro, especially for people who are female, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month. She also prescribed Ambien, but only on nights when I can't sleep. My diagnosis was mild depression and anxiety and she put me on Celexa 10 mg for the first week and then after that 20 mg. ![]() ![]() I only worked 3-4 days a week and on every other night than my "work night" I literally slept like a baby. I know this is probably better to post in an introduction forum.I went to a psychiatrist 2 weeks ago because for the last 9 months I couldn't sleep all night only when I have to go to work next day. Insomnia is also a symptom of depression itself (which will get better once your body adapts to lexapro). Will I ever recover from this? I trust that I will. Lexapro induced insomnia lies in the second category, that is, secondary insomnia. I've found that I focus a lot more on myself, and I have withdrawn from my family and friends. The weird suff is the heightened senses I've experienced. This has ony happened in the last few weeks, and I wonder if it has more to do with side effects than my depression. I forget a great number of things routinely. I can stop and tell myself that I should not worry about the future, but it is as if my short term memory is so short that I have to contiunally remind myself that everything will be okay. I can only focus on the very thing I'm doing in any given moment, but not in a way that I can enjoy it (ala zen moment) but in a way that strikes fear in me about things that will happen in the future. The underlying causes of my anxiety and depression are both genetic and environmental but what is strange about my insomnia is that I've got to the point that I can deal with it, but it has worsened my depression signifcantly. I've stayed away from prescription sleep meds because I don't want to be out of it for work. He gave me a prescription for a low dosage of doxepin. I'm taking 10 mg lexapro, and just today I went into my psychiatrist for help. I've had periods during which I sleep well, but most often I go to sleep between 10:30-11:00 and wake up at 3, sometimes earlier depending the way I fall asleep. I been taking lexapro for the last month and while my anxiety is overall low, my depression-lack of feeling, lack of motivation, etc-is still there. My first posting here after much reading.saw this topic title and thought how pertinent.I have suffered from some bad insomina on and off for about four months.
