Working for depression but not anxiety?
Post Body

I searched the sub and saw a few posts but they were always about the reverse scenario. I started on 5mg back in mid May, increased to 10, and have been at 20mg for three weeks. My depression is almost completely gone - I haven't felt this amazing in years! But my anxiety is still there, and in some cases is somehow worse. Because the depression is gone, my sleeping schedule is much more normal (8 solid hours), but the anxiety over something might keep me up for hours. I panic much more often.

In the reverse situation I saw a lot of people get put on Wellbutrin to complement the Lexapro, but would this also work to alleviate anxiety? Has anyone else dealt with this and been prescribed another additive, or just told to taper off Lexapro and try something else? I am really hoping it's not the latter because of the drastic change in mood I've had.

Thank you for any insight you may have!
