cheesy,Good Morning and kudos to you for making it this far. Wondering what your dose is if you do not mind sharing?
I used this med in 2005 and felt it helped but, for me, it pooped out really fast as well as I was on the max dose of 20mg. I was in the midst of a major depressive episode as well as extreme anxiety. It was the only time in my 31 year history of Depression and Anxiety that I had a full melt down. Yes, I did get better with therapy, a very wise Pyschiatrist, a strong support system and taking early retirement from the job I loved but was at burn-out level.
I am going to post a link to another site that is listed in the Depression Resources. The link will take you straight to the topic - Lexapro.

I always take my Antidepressant meds in the morning as they seem to make me a little "wired" and I want to make sure I sleep at night. Of course each person's body responds uniquely to medications.
When do you see your Dr. again for a medication check up ?
I wish you peace and happiness,
