I suffer from anxiety, as well as sleep apnea, and have been prescribed Escalitopram to help with the anxiety.
However, the anxiety seems no better and I am having increased problems with falling asleep.
I am wondering whether I should stop taking it but when I asked my doctor she suggested doubilng the does to 20mg daily to get a proper therapeutic dose.
I do suspect that it is contributing to the nmsomnia however.
Is this a known side effect?

How long have you been taking it? What dosage?
Sometimes side effects dissappear after a short time.
