> Lexapro and Effexor are both great drugs with excellent reputations. If I were you, I would increase the dose of Lexapro to 60 mg. It is safe. The only reason not to do is if it makes you too tired or gives you sexual side effects.
> If that does not work, I would try either Effexor or Cymbalta. I personally am doing very well on 60 mg Cymbalta.
I second the Cymbalta recommendation. I made the switch from Lexapro to Cymbalta and have never felt better. I don't think Lexapro is all it's cracked up to be. But that's just my opinon. I like Celexa much better, even though they're supposedly the same drug (?). Anyway, I would give Cymbalta a shot.
