There are about 20 drug treatments and a dozen or so talk therapies that are all about equally effective at treating depression and anxiety. We have no evidence-based way of figuring out which treatment will work better for which patient. It's a total crapshoot, even for psychiatrists. Anecdotally, escitalopram worked for you. A thirty second Google search will turn up hundreds of anecdotal reports saying that escitalopram is worse than the devil incarnate. The evidence says that it's no better or worse than a laundry-list of other treatments. You got lucky. With that said, talking to your doctor is a sensible decision.
