Hi, Step67!
It all depends on how you respond to the medication. Lexapro can make some people sleepy but it can also cause insomnia in others:
"Very common (10% or more of users): Insomnia (up to 14%)"
"Very common (10% or more): Somnolence (up to 13%)
There's a good chance you won't have either of these side effects but if it does make you tired take it at night. If you can't sleep take it in the morning.
