LisaMichelle,
I think the lexapro worked for me maybe a couple of months but when the depression came back my doc increased my dosage. I think I went from 5 to 10 then to 20 and then to 30. I think I said 20 was my last dosage, but I meant 30. It was when I went to the 30 that everything fell apart. I could barely do anything, except sleep. I was so depressed. I took myself off it on my own but had to go see the doc when the withdrawl symptoms were too much for me. I should have just lowered my dosage and would have been fine, but I was desperate to try and get back to myself. My mom takes Lexapro too, and she loves it. So hang in there, give it a fair chance and see how it goes.
take care
