Hi Mystic - It sounds like you had a better day on Sunday?
I have a major energy problem after 10 weeks on 10 mg of Lex & then 9 weeks on 20 mg. Not sure if I'm just sleepy though since I have a bit of insomnia (getting much better since last week tho).
I don't work out much, but I did experience some muscle weakness and thought it's just because I'm tired all the time. Could it be that the Lex relaxes your system and that includes the enzymes that go into making ATP or whatever it is that turns into energy? I'm just fishing around for an explanation, really don't know.
I REALLY commend you for getting up and getting out each day. That has got to help so much!! You are doing better than you think if you can do that :-) Hope you have time to call some counselors today. I wonder if they would give you some patients to call as references?
Hang in there, you're on your way!
~ Lynne

Hey guys...I was just wondering if anyone has a problem with energy on Lexapro and if this is a side effect that goes away in time...I have the hardest time just getting through the day not to mention an arobics class..went to the gym this morning and I had no energy to lift weights and noticed that the amount of weight is less than I usually do...Didnt know if this would go away with time...Been on the Lex for 5 weeks tomorrow....thanks Mystic
