Hello - nexito (escitalopram) is an effective medication for anxiety and you are on 10 mgs which is an effective dose. If you are feeling better continue on the same medication - there is no need to change to nexito plus at this stage. Nexito plus contains escitalopram and clonazepam. Whilst escitalopram can be continued long term, clonazepam is meant only for short term use. So it is not recommended at this stage for you - continue nexito for atleast 6 months after you get better. Then it can be gradually weaned off - in addition to medication, also try counselling, deep breathing and muscle relaxation exercises. They are good to manage anxiety. Take care.
