Anxiety, panic attacks, lexapro, and alcohol consumption

Been taking 5 mg lexapro daily since july, i usuall drink a beer after work, i work 2 to 9:30 tuesday through Wednesday, while i have felt mire organized in my head over these past 5 months or so its hard for me to tell if its helping combat my depression, my diagnosis in july was anxiety and depression, i still experience very bad anxiety usually around 1 pm and this can be debilitating and get in the way of my work, i dont know if it is the alcohol mixed with the lexapro causing this, its hard because i still feel the need to drink alcohol after work but a few times after doing it i have instantly regretted it based off a feeling i can't describe, i have slowed down on drinking trying to keep it to twice a week but i still feel it adds to my debilitated/lathargic feeling ive beeb getting where i don't necessarily want to do anything but i know i need to, im not a very unhealthy person although i had a lot of childhood trauma that caused me to self isolate from society for a long time i
