Hi Snuggles,
I'm taking Lexapro too. At first I was started on 10 mg per day which didn't help, then to 20 mg for about one month more, which helped some. But now my doctor increased it to slowly to 30 for 4 days, now I am on 40 mg which I feel is probably the best dose for me right now. The lower doses just didn't seem to make much of a difference in my mood. In addition though, he started me on a mood stabilizer, Topamax 100 mg at bedtime, and also Ativan 0.5 mg three times per day, Buspar 10 mg in the morning and Ambien 10 mg for sleep. Sounds like alot of meds, but whatever works I will have to take, it's better than how I was feeling before the past two weeks. I don't know what dose your doctor has you on now, but just discuss it with your doctor and don't be afraid to ask questions. I hope you start feeling better soon. Take care
