hello cha****
so you are having anxiety for about 16 years now and you have tried number of medications and you are currently more or less stable on cipralex 25 mg. (escitalopram) with minor exacerbations of symptoms periodically. escitalopram is a SSRI group drug which is one of safest drug and highly effective for anxiety symptoms and depression. addition of Wellbutrin (Bupropion) 150 can improve the symptomatology but changing to wellbutrin is not a good idea. apart from this you can try to control your symptoms by behavior therapy or by taking clonazepam on sos basis in lower doses.
thanks and kindly rate me
