I have a quick question. In the last week, I have had really good days - no nap, normal energy, some triumphs - movie, Mass, and more. Then there have been days like today when I want to stay in bed all day - except for meals. ( I would stay in bed all day if I wasn't diabetic). Any ideas as to why ...

Two weeks ago my doctor asked me to raise my dosage of Lexapro from 20 mg to 20 mg. Although the outward signs of anxiety and depression have diminished, I find that I want to sleep all of the time.

Today I feel very anxious and have a lot of reflux and generalied anxiety. Is it comm...
