Hi Holymama,
I'm so sorry you're going through all of this. I would suggest that you do call your pdoc back, and explain how upping your Lexapro has made you feel.
I'm really glad to hear that you wouldn't commit suicide because of your kids. It's really concerning, though, to hear that that's the only thing keeping you going. So, let me ask you: If you didn't have kids, would you seriously be considering it? If so, definitely get help. Call your T. Call your pdoc. If you can't get ahold of them, call a crisis hotline, or call 911 or go to the emergency room. You don't want to end up any further down that path.
If you wouldn't consider it, I'd still call my T if I were you. They would probably want to know how bad you are. They might be able to help you make some decisions, or at least some ways to cope.
I wish you much luck. Please keep posting here, and let us know how you're doing. I'm really concerned about you, and what you're saying.
