Hi Lexy,
Have you considered moving home? It can be really difficult to combat your depression when you're so far away from your support network. I was in a similar situation to you about 2 years ago. (Living away from home, going to school out of state and becomming depressed.) I moved home, and it was the right decision...I just wish I'd done it sooner.
15 mgs of Lexapro has been great. There was an adjustment period (about 2 weeks) but it wasn't nearly as bad as what I went through when I started taking Lexapro. Really the only side effect I experienced was feeling tired ALL the time. Thankfully, that has subsided.
While I'm not "back to myself" yet I'm much closer than I was. (about 85% to 90% and rising) You'll get back to the point where you feel comfortable in your own skin again. You're in my thoughts.
K.
