Got prescribed lexapro for sleep problems and it’s made it worse.

Some quick backstory. I’ve been having problems sleeping for the past 3 months now because everytime i try to sleep i get nauseous and i feel like vomiting, which causes me to get up or just lose my “momentum” for sleeping and it disturbs my sleep from ever happening.

I went to the doctors about this twice and both times they told me it’s probably anxiety causing it and i got prescribed with lexapro (10 mgs) today for it. I tried it out for the first time and it’s made my situation so much worse.

I’ve tried napping through the day (i had no sleep last night) and each time i do i wake up exactly 30 minutes after i start napping to the most violent gagging i’ve ever encountered, each time worse than the last. This has happened consistently 3 times today already and I’ve also had just the worse cold shivers and fatigue.

I understand that lexapros symptoms are the worse when you start it but i’m seriously doubting this is at all for me. I’m already looking at getting a follow up doctors appointment for this but i want to see everyone else’s opinion first. Should i just wait it out.
