Ali, I went thru a hard time on lex awhile back, too, but I am beginning my 4th month now, and I am feeling sooo much better. My doc and I played around a little with the dose, but I ended up back at 10mg, and am off the benzo at night (I am able to sleep fine without it now). My doc took me off the benzo because he thought it was causing some of the unpleasant s/e's, i.e. lack of motivation and tiredness during the day.
I take at least one day off the lex on weekends and sometimes two, and it has made a big difference; it seems to give me the boost I need to tackle the work week. Talk to your doc and see what he/she thinks.
I was ready to give up not that long ago, but now I am glad I toughed it out, because I feel better than I have in a very long time.
Good luck, Ali . . . I'm glad you posted again (*smile*).
