Opinions on Seroplex / Escitalopram

Hi all!

I have been taking Seroplex (Generic for Escitalopram) 20 mg for about months no and I find it to make me very exhausted. I have read on other forums about this. It has the same basic makeup as Seropram, I believe, which is a sedative antidepressant. It works very well for my anxiety, but it just makes me tired and thus, with it minimizing any energy my already drained body has, it makes daily life much more difficult. 

Also, while it helps with anxiety, I still get very depressed at times.

Thank you in advance for any help from those who have taken this medicine and sharing their input and experience.

Hello members, does anyone have any insight from experience or advice?
