I have really bad nausea, spacey feeling, lightheaded/dizziness, increased anxiety, tired/lethargic , slight headaches. I'm on the 4th day of taking 10mg of Lexapro.
I'm on Lexapro 5mg for a week and I'm suppose to go to 10mg after. I take it at night ....
... but I have insomnia and haven't slept well all week. Should I try taking the Lexapro in the morning before going on to 10 mg? I'm afraid side effects might get worse. The nausea is gone but insomnia gets worse.
