Hi TexasChic,
I'm sorry to hear that the Lexapro isn't working for you. I was on 40 mgs of Prozac for quite a while and like you I have found that Lex isn't quite as "activating" as Prozac. (On my next pdoc visit I'm going to ask about adding Wellbutrin.)
The increase might do the trick in helping your depression. I hope you start to see positive results soon. When I increased, it really helped. I went from 10 mgs to 15 mgs and it seems to have done the trick.
If the increase doesn't work for you, I would suggest going back to Prozac and taking a benzo on an as needed basis i.e. whenever you have a panic attack. Xanax, Klonopin, Lorazepam etc...all of those meds can really do wonders when you're having a panic attack.
Best of luck!
K.
