Well... ok, I was still having side effects by the time I increased to 10mg, but they weren't worsened by the increase and went away completely shortly thereafter. I also had no side effects at all when I increased to 20mg later on.
If you've been on it for 4 days are feeling pretty good, I'd say that's a good sign.
Lexapro was my first antidepressant experience, and came after years of debating whether or not I really needed it. I wasn't initially happy about taking a pill, but I tried natural methods and therapy, and it just wasn't doing the trick - so I sympathize completely.
