In reply to anxiety or depression medication?, posted by chess on February 14, 2004, at 9:18:14
Hi Chess,
I can understand why you're confused. In the case of anxiety and depression, one can often cause the other. (i.e. anxiety can bring on depression and depression can bring on anxiety)
Of course, you should discuss this with your pdoc (psychiatrist) but I would suggest that you take something that is both an anti depressant and an anti anxiety medication. Lexapro and Paxil are examples of meds that can take care of both.
I'm currently on 15 mg of lexapro for anxiety/depression and it has been wonderful for both.
