Hi Edna,
Situational stress is tolerable, but if it leads to panic attacks then it might be time for an increase. In my opinion medication should help you to tolerate stress and anxiety in a normal fashion rather than have it lead to an attack. Increasing might will probably help you cope with your situational stress a little better.
I have anxiety/panic and depression also. It seems like lower doses of Lexapro work very well for depression but higher doses are needed to help with anxiety. I suggest starting 20 mgs. (I'm thinking of increasing too.) I hope it all goes well for you!
