It sounds like the Lexapro is counterproductive in your case, and you should try another AD. Virtually every AD except for Wellbutrin will work for GAD, so there are plenty of choices, including Remeron and the TCA's, which have the advantage of stimulating appetite and improving sleep (which can help a lot with the fatigue).

Also, if your primary dx is GAD, you could consider Buspar, which has very mild side effects at therapeutic doses, and can have a calming effect.
