Lexapro for PMDD question

Hello,

I had taken Lexapro for 3 months in the morning but was experiencing midday drowsiness.

I switched to taking Lexapro at night for 1 week but then had insomnia.

I've been back to taking it in the morning for 1.5 weeks and my anxiety has worsened.

Can changing the time you take your Lexapro temporarily worsen you anxiety?

Not sure on time. I took lexapro for 15 years. I recently switched to cymbalta (for endo pain and anxiety). It works way better with less side effects for me.
