Hi all, can anyone tell me if they are having problems sleeping while taking escitalopram. I have only been taking them for 5 days, and i am having terrible problems with getting to sleep, and staying asleep. I't is taking me forever to fall asleep and when i do, it feels like i am only half asleep, and keep waking up during the night. I have never had this problem before. Is it the medication, and will it improve. It's ok at the moment, but i start back to work on tuesday,and i work in a doctor's surgery, so need to be on the ball. Any advice would be good. thanks
