I experienced similar symptoms and they were due to lower sodium levels in my blood.
My personal doctor initially didn’t think that it was possible, because - as in your case - the effects appeared later than expected, but the blood test results convinced him.
After I weaned off the medicine, I felt normal again.
By the way, I read about the possible effects of Lexapro on sodium in the blood, in the information leaflet that was given by the pharmacy. So it’s not something obscure.
