Take it in morning and do exercise and try to be active by ur will power
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.
