What Causes Severe Fatigue While On Lexapro?
Yes, my wife has been on Lexapro (20 mg daily) for about 5 months and is in generally good health after having been diagnosed with major depression. She is feeling MUCH better but still complains of fatigue, i.e., sleeps about 10-12 hours per day. Is there any way for her to overcome the fatigue? Thank you............

Hello welcome to HealthcareMagic
Regarding your symptom of fatigue following treatment with depression which has improved with the prescribed Lexapro I am suggesting you reduce the dosage of the Lexapro so that it decrease the sleeping period and improve her fatigue
I hope this helps
