After 5 months, it should have helped by now at 20mgs.Well maybe a new doc will start you on an MAOi once the Lexapro is out of your system (I think they have to wait 2 weeks after ssri's are stopped). One thing I'll mention is that Nardil was better for depression + anxiety than parnate is. My father was on Nardil for 30 years though and it changed his life. He also had horrible anxiety. So bad that he couldn't go out in public. It was a life saver.
