For a first time episode of Major Depressive Disorder (unipolar), the common recommendation is to remain on an effective treatment for 6-9 months after REMISSION is achieved. You have not yet achieved remission. Since you are already on nortriptyline, why not try adding the Lexapro now and then consider discontinuing treatment if that is what you wish to do.
I do not think nortriptyline is preventing you from recovering.
