Sorry, I cannot reassure you it gets better. I happen to be in the camp that believes pure ssris all by themselves are bad news, they make things worse either sooner or later, despite the brief help they may or may not provide.
Adding a norepinephrine component to the low dose 5mg lex would have been a far smarter approach I think. Something like nortriptyline, desipramine, or savella. But most psychiatrists, nearly all actually, do not think that way. They are all pretty much boxed in with industry consensus and pharmaceutic reps. Industry consensus is....increase the dose! I happen to disagree.
