> I have been taking Lexapro 10mg daily, Trazodone 50mg, and Wellbutrin SR 100mg 1x/daily for about 4 weeks now (for depression and anxiety) and have been experiencing increased anxiety and my depression comes and goes. I have high moods (not super elated just pretty happy) then it slumps to low and it goes like this daily and sometimes throughout the day.

You are taking fairly low doses of trazodone and Wellbutrin. 10mg of Lexapro is a normal dose but far from maximum.
If you're anxious I would start with increasing Lexapro to 20mg/d and wait a couple of weeks. If you still have problems with depression then raise Wellbutrin dosage. Do you take trazodone for sleep?
