Could be the Lexapro has "pooped out".
First step is to up the dose and see if that works.
You could try Celexa/ citalopram. It is exactly the same as Lexapro but it contains two isomers instead of one.

Newer antidepressants are -
Fetzima - SSNRI
Brintellix - SSRI
Viibryd - SSRI
You might consider Wellbutrin which is in it's own class but if lexapro has worked probably try another SSRI first.
Prozac
Paxil
Luvox
SSNRI's
Effexor
Pristiq
