Melanie,
Your story sounds similar to mine. I think we are both on the OCD-GAD spectrum. At times my mood will be definitively one or the other.
I take lexapro as a long term "solution" I still get break through anxiety, but either the lexapro or skills I have learned through therapy seem to make it manageable.
Special note---the first week on lexapro was pretty bad. I experienced some start up anxiety. I think it is pretty common.
