Why is increasing my nightly Nexito dose from 5 mg to 7.5 mg causing me to wake up half-asleep to drink water in the middle of the night, and is it better to take this medication in the morning or at bedtime?

Increasing your Nexito (escitalopram) dose can temporarily cause dry mouth, a common and harmless side effect that often improves as your body adjusts. This is likely why you are waking up thirsty. Regarding timing, escitalopram can be taken either in the morning or at bedtime. If taking it at night disrupts your sleep or causes bothersome dry mouth in the middle of the night, switching to a morning dose might help you sleep more comfortably. Please discuss this timing adjustment with your doctor to ensure it aligns safely with your treatment.
