I take bupropion for depression and anxiety and lexapro for my depression as well. I'd say that they saved me life.

Lexapro had me hearing music so they had to stop it.

i'm on cymbalta, currently. it helps with both my anxiety and depression. cymbalta has been the one medication to help me with both. i was on countless ones before but they only helped one or didn't help at all

I am on Prozac for both depression and anxiety. Usually as far as I know they sort of go hand in hand at least when there aren't any other mental health conditions involved. It took me a bit to get the right medicine but all of the ones I was taking was supposed to be for both.

I'm on carbamazepine and lithium for my bipolar depression. They won't put me on meds for me anxiety because it's "undefined".
