Yes it causes laziness and sleepiness . Try to take it a bit early so that u sleep early and perhaps wake up fresh . Or reduce the dose to 5mg

Why r u taking escitalopram? Was is started by psychiatrist. According to my opinion it does not induces so much sleep as u are telling but still now you should start tolerating it. Plz check your B. P and go for Thyroid profile and RBS also.

Sir I am depressed due to social anxiety since childhood. I feel anxious in public places like shopping and around people. I am also a shy person and freeze around girls. Unable to participate in social gatherings and groups. Have difficulty to face people and feels that people are watching me and thinking about me most of the time. This problem is limiting my life to fully enjoy.

Please help, I am lonely and depressed.
