After two weeks of taking Lexapro 20 mg, I felt amazing. I was basically cured, with no depression or anxiety. Unfortunately, after about a month, the effect seemed to weaken significantly. Maybe it's not as bad as before taking Lexapro, but I am no longer in complete remission. Even though I have been taking Lexapro for three months now, this state of remission seems to have never returned. Has anyone had a similar situation?

It happened to me when I first started Lexapro and I had to increase to 30mg. Perhaps ask your doc if you should try a similar increase.
Did you also find that it started working quickly and then stopped quickly? Do you feel that you are in remission all the time on 30 mg? Maybe I also need doses of 30-40 mg to feel permanently better.
Yes it started working quickly and still does over 2 years later. I’ve been able to reduce to 10mg and still working. I think sometimes a higher dose is needed initially.
Yeah happened to me. Did you have side effects? I had none. After every increase it starts working again but stops after a month for me. My psychiatrist added buspar and that seems to be working well.
I didn't have any side effects either. I have the same thing, when I increase the dose, it starts working and after a month it stops... :(
