Does Lexapro make anyone crave sweets and feel TIRED?

I am 32 married with five children. Been dealing with depression and SERIOUS PMS for years. Prozac worked really well for two years. Then, this past winter was horrible. I was a wreck. Dr. upped Prozac...nothing. I tried homeopathy with light therapy and exercise. Worked for energy, but was still VERY emotional. So, now we are trying Lexapro. Been three weeks and I am extremely tired with no drive to do much and I am restless and antsy at different times and have trouble sleeping at night; and I have lost my appetite(not complaining:) But when I do get hungry it's for sugar and sweets! Will it get better? I just want to feel "normal". I know meds are different for each individual, should I try something else. Thanks.

I also im on that helps with my depression! best thing i have found for it! but i have crazy dreams about people in my life and dont sleep as deep but the not sleeping as deep is good for me becuz befor i was a very deep sleeper.i dont see any diffrents in my appetite. i have been on it for 6 weeks my dr. says it takes about 8 weeks are so to see the full diffrents. so you should just keep trying it maybe it will get better
Reply:I take Lexapro, and I like it. The side effects are worse on other drugs, at least for me. If you get into a good schedule, and take it at the exact same time every day, you should be able to control your little ups and downs with your meals. Eat right and you'll be better than normal.
Reply:I take 10mg of Lexapro along with 300mgs of Wellbutrin. I have lots of energy most of the time, but do have a larger appetite than I wish. Very crazy dreams at night, but glad to be sleeping. My pms is in check. You might talk to your doctor about this combination, I've been doing this for at least 6mos.
