Side effect question
Hi everyone, this might be a dumb question but I started taking lexapro 10mg around November/December (alongside Wellbutrin) last year and it worked great for me, besides the side effects. I got strange ones like bruxism and jaw tremors, but also the common ones like sleepiness and constant yawning. I went to 20mg and I literally felt narcoleptic...
I ended up having to stop taking it around May/June because I could not function because I was so tired, even when we lowered it back to 10mg. Anyway, fast forward to now, I decided to go back on it.
I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to handle the side effects, mostly the sleepiness, I can handle the other ones for the most part, I'd rather be uncomfortable than be depressed and anxious lol.
TLDR: Tips on dealing with side effects, mostly sleepiness?
