Looking for Medications for Depression and Anxiety

What medications are there for depressions (GAD and/or social anxiety)? I’ve taken sertraline but it doesn’t work well for me.

Lexapro was the first medicine I tried and so far it's working well for me. There are a lot of potential side effects that not everyone will be ok with, and I know Lexapro doesn't work for everyone. My prescriber started me on a very low dose to see how I reacted to it before putting me on a higher dose. Maybe try that?
