I Have been taking lexapro for more than 12 months and feel that it is no longer working - I began to resume feelings of depression and anxiety despite taking my daily dose - I have since been advised to increase the dose from 10 mg to 20 mg - I wonder after the previous results what will occur once i become immune to the 20mg dose as seemed to occur with the 10 mg dose? I have heard of people on 40 mg? Then again I have heard of people on an endless cyle & search for 'the perfect drug' I think I may stop these meds all together an try the natural approach. Goodluck fellow users!
