There are many different medications to augment your antidepressant that will address anxiety. There are other antidepressant in different categories that could help such as the DNRI, Wellbutrin. Also, a medication called BuSpar which is specifically for anxiety and in a class alone. Other meds that could help are Seroquel or a benzodiazepine such as Klonopin. It really depends on how your anxiety symptoms manifest as to what would be the best combination for you.
