For having no thoughts thats a pretty detailed post! I recomend lowering the escitalopram to 5mg. 5mg can still be very potent and should still help anxiety. Whatever you do, make changes slowly!
You might try adding a little folic acid (400mcg) and perhaps some omega-3 to boost dopamine production.
An occasional cup of coffee can be a good medication adjunct.
I am also taking escitalopram - I take between 2.5 and 5mg and this seems to keep the blunting effect to a minimum.
Take care,
