lexapro and bipolar disorder
Is this the Lexapro or Abilify?
Bipolar Disorder Abilify-15 mg, 10 mg of Lexapro a few weeks after taking Lexapro have become very tired early and go to bed at 8 pm and wakes at 8 am. 12 hours of sleep! With decreased sexual desire. You think it's the Lexapro? Still have mild depression. Go talk to doctor, if I put on something else?
Both can make you feel tired, but I think it is doing the Abilify sleep. The Lexapro is probably to blame for decreased sexual desire. ABILIFY When I took, I was very tired, could barely keep her eyes open during the day, so my doctor told me be taken at night. Ask your document should be on reducing the dosage of ABILIFY, or switch to another mood stabilizer, if the increase is interfering with sleep. It really depends on you, you have options. For some people, fatigue side effects diminish after getting used to the medicine. (but not me, I was like a zombie for 2 months with ABILIFY) For all antidepressants, it takes a while to see its effects, several weeks on average. While you're improving, you is on the right track. Talk to your doctor about what you can do for her mild depression. (you can up the dose from 10 mg is not much)
