That's great to hear you are feeling so much better and have more energy! I also take Lexapro and it is great for me also. Since you feel like you are not yet 100%, you may want to consider increasing to 20 mgs a day. 10 mgs made me feel better, but like you, just a little short of being that 100%. And it did make a difference for me. But the negative side of that was, I began to gain weight. I felt like I was retaining fluids and maybe my metabolism slowed down. But you know, after trying so many different A.D.'s, and finally finding one that really made me mentally feel great, I'm beginning to think it may just be worth it to deal with some weight gain in order to be happy. Talk with your Doc. I wish you the best - Good Luck!
