I am now on 15 mg after being off of it for 15 days is it going to take the full 6 to 8 weeks again to see the full affects my psychiatrist wants me to try Pregablin 25 mg twice a day I’m a little afraid to go to that medicine. I’ve never heard of it. I’m very sensitive to meds does anybody or has anybody used this?
Is it normal to go from 15 mg of Lexapro to 20 mg of Lexapro I’ve been taking 15mg and went off?

After 7-8 days your last dose of Lexapro is out of your system so you'll need to build up to a therapeutic level again. Many people begin feeling some improvement in the few couple of weeks but it may take 4-8 weeks for you, especially if it's to treat an anxiety disorder. Here are some reviews for pregabalin.

Pregabalin is the generic name for the brand name Lyrica which you may have heard of.
Your doctor has you on very low dose of the medication to see how you respond probably given your sensitivity.
I hope this info helps.
