Lexapro working much faster for anxiety than depression - experience for people with both?

This is the third time in my life I've been on Lexapro. The first two times it was just for anxiety and the anxiety relief was pretty quick, albeit with some startup side effects like nausea/headaches.

This time, I was also depressed (probably thanks to dealing with cumulative long-term anxiety and insomnia) and...holy crap is the Lexapro making the depression worse. Apparently this can be very common in the first few weeks according to Dr. Google and ChatGPT. It's just new to me because the anxiety relief was so fast the last two times and I guess I hoped the depression effect would be the same. I'm on day 8 and my anxiety symptoms got better fast (things like muscle tension - normally I have chronic disc pain in my back, but that's fine now) but I am at absolutely-dreading-the-day depression levels. This sucks.

I'm safe (have a good safety network/medical support, no intent to leave this planet anytime soon etc) so this is not a crisis situation. Just wanted to vent and maybe hear from people with similar experiences with both anxiety and depression.
