Many options: Lexapro is usually good for both depression and anxiety..Standard dose is 20 mg. Could increase dose if on less than that. Adding Wellbutrin could help depression, but can increase anxiety for some people. Buspirone could be adding if anxiety persists despite adequate treatment of depression. Consider switch from lexapro to paroxetine, effexor, (venlafaxine) or mirtazepine before going to polypharmacy
