If things don't improve, you may want to try Lexapro again (see my post below).
Now that I'm off Pristiq and back on Lexapro, it's working like a charm.
I'll never forget (recovery/self-help guru) John Bradshaw's opening statement to a packed weekend workshop audience a few years ago: "I'm on Lexapro and I feel great!"

Sorry for the very slow response, Phillipa.
With Lexapro, that's the way it works for me. It poops out about every 9-12 months and I have to go on a different med for about a month. After that, it works perfectly again.

> So if you give a med a rest it works for you again? Could be the fillers and binders in the generic that make the difference. I really don't know. Phillipa and thanks for letting us know you will update us.
> I was put on the drug pristiq last march or april because Lexapro was not working for me anymore. I don't think that Pristiq has ever worked. I have lost 20 lbs due to the fact that I can't eat, hardly sleep and feel awful. I am so emotionally vulnerable right now that I had to take time off of grad school and can hardly bear the depression I feel. I got diagnosed when I was sixteen and now I am 26. I have been on every drug in the book and some things helped a little, but I feel as if depression is ruining my entire life. Please help. :(
