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

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