I think everything is working for you except the Lexapro. Would you be willing to try something else?

I would recommend Luvox. It has no action on norepenephrine. It can help with sleep, anhedonia and OCD. It is a very strong serotogenic drug and also stimulates sigma receptors, which are implicated in depression and OCD.
I would also recommend Viibryd. It's short on side effects, even sexual ones and is 5ht1a partial agonist, which gives it some kick in treating depression and anxiety.
>I don't feel like adding anything heavy in or having to deal with side effects
You're depression is significant, you may need to add something stronger.
