MCI
I have MCI (mild cognitive impairment) resulting from a severe bike accident in 1995. At the present time I am having trouble getting and staying asleep. I do take an antidepressant - Lexapro but apparently it
is not working. Any suggestions/recommendations would be greatly
appreciated.
Hi
. Insomnia is a common side effect of Lexapro. Have you considered asking your doctor for something new? If you want to remain on Lexapro, you can talk with your pharmacist about the best time of day to take it in order to lessen the insomnia. Some people find they sleep better at night if they take it in the morning. I hope this helps and that you get some relief. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
