As with any meds for anything, everyone is different. What works for one doesn't always work for another. Plus there are so many combinations that the doc can put you on, it's not always easy to tell which one is doing good or doing nothing at all.
For depression I have been on paxil and celexa. The paxil made me so flat I had no emotion one way or another and absolutely no anxiety. So, good and bad there.
The celexa worked like a charm for me on depression and helped with the anxiety too. I've never been on anything other than those two meds for depression.
I do now take an occasional ativan for anxiety attacks, but that's all I'm on at the moment.
I do hope you are able to find something that works well for you!
