Anxiety/Depression.

Ok guys and gals,I was recently put on Lexapro,20mg for 2 months,my anxiety started coming back,and I wasn't seeing much of a change.So my DR. switched me to Paxil 20 mg.He said I have more of a GAD (generalized anixety disorder).So what is everyones opinion on this new medication he started me on?Another question,does this work for depression too?
