Grogginess is common after Escitalopram and should reduce and disappear in 2 weeks. If it persists the medication needs to be changed. Consult an astute psychiatrist for the same. Good luck

Initially more then less
But yeah it will definitely make you little relaxed so take it at bedtime
Half an hour before you want to sleep and don’t do anything on it and wake up and put your face in ice
That should help
Also use art
And walk in grass

Escitalopram helps decrease anxiety, excessive worry, low mood eventually improving sleep and appetite
Ideally it’s prescribed for 6 months to 1 year
However the best opinion for how long the meds need to be taken will be given by your treating psychiatrist
