Need advice on treating GAD with Lexapro

I have been on lexapro for about 4 months to treat GAD. It is not really helping. I am wondering if anyone has recommendations. I am also on a twice daily benzodiazepine.

Benzos can make the anxiety worse. Its weird but it does. Maybe try getting off the benzo. I take lexapro with my buspirone

I have tried both but now I take buspirone and it works wonders. I’m honestly shocked. I’ve tried so many meds over the years
