Lexapro for both anxiety & depression

[beaglelover 2]

I am new here, but I just recently began taking Lexapro for anxiety 5 days ago.  I am hoping to feel the benefits soon.  I also struggle with depression.  I was wondering if anyone has taken Lexapro to treat both anxiety and depression with success, or if it's best to take something in addition to the Lexapro for depression.  Any input is greatly appreciated!
