Yes, I think it is a good try for depression. On the anxiety, I'm not sure -- I'm thinking there is a fair chance it could worsen anxiety. But, it could be worth a try.
At one time, probably around 1999, I was on smallish doses of Effexor, nortriptyline, and Wellbutrin (all three together). I don't recall if it helped or not, but I do think it was an excellent try by my psychiatrist. I had previously not gotten noticeable help by Prozac, then Zoloft, then my memory gets fuzzy, but I'm guessing I built up to the three combo. Also, my depression manifested with a lot of tiredness/lack of energy, and I was obese, so I appreciate that she was willing to prescribe beyond just stuff that acted on serotonin.
