Escitalopram 10mg

I'm on escitalopram 10mg and mood wise it has helped my anxiety. I take it at 8pm because a) I have another med I take in the evening b) I was taking it in the morning but felt like it was interfering with my ADHD medication.

I've now increased my ADHD morning medication which has helped my motivation.

However I was also finding that it feels like the escitalopram wears off about 3pm. I can feel a bit low in the afternoon. I've shifted it now to taking it at 10pm to see if it lasts longer.

Does anyone else find 10mg wears off toward the end?

I could go to 20mg.

Or maybe it's me needing to take more ADHD meds in the afternoon.

Pharmacists are really good at knowing how to take multiple medications together. I’d ask there.
