Close Anxiety

I have had severe anxiety and depression for 6-7 years with little to no relief. I have recently started Lexapro and it semms to be helping slightly. I take Ultram, which is actually prescribed for my migraines but, it helps with my anxiety. I take 2-4 every day. Without it I probably wouldn't be here. I have had several drug induced tries at suiced but, I'm still here. I think I just have a very high tolerance to drugs, because I've been on EVERYTHING there is for depression and anxiety
