At the moment I am about 2 1/2 weeks into my dose increase and feel all I have is side effects and no benefits.

How did you settle on 5mg of lexapro? Did you ever try increasing your dose?
I've got a history of not being able to tolerate "therapeutic" doses of psych meds (hospitalised twice) so I am treated very cautiously by docs! I've been on 5mg in the past and that has helped with agitation (very different from anxiety) and also I don't feel so low. For me it's a safe and good choice.
