Just from reading your posts, i suggest you go up to 10 mg. I think that would be a better dosage for you rather than anything less. You still have quite a bit of anxiety and depression that needs to be treated. You will be surprised when you read this, but when I first started out on Lexapro, I was on 30 mg! I had so much anxiety. But gradually, I cut back to 25, then 20, then 15, then 10 and now 5 mg. But that is ONLY because of the physical side effects. If I had no side effects, I would go back to 15 mg to 20 mg per day. Even if I did have anxiety on the higher doses, it was "muted" and I got over things quickly and things just "rolled off my back" because it seemed to help me forget the anxious things. Plus it helped my depression so much.
