Hello Mark: I believe this is your first posted thread here on PC. So... welcome to Psych Central.

I don't have a lot of experience with medications myself. So I can't really offer anything based on personal experience. However here are links to some articles, from Psych Central's archives, on the subjects of depression as well as anxiety including 3 on the subject of medications for anxiety:

Depression: Symptoms, Types & Treatments | Psych Central

Living with Depression: A Guide for Coping with Depressive Feelings | Psych Central

Anxiety Disorders: Symptoms, Types & Treatments | Psych Central

Medication and Anxiety

Off-Label Treatments for Anxiety Disorders

I hope you find PC to be of benefit.

P.S. Since you mentioned having struggled with depression for 40 years & anxiety for 30, I thought I would also bring this Psych-Central-supported website for people with unrelenting depression & anxiety to your attention:
