anti anxiety medicine treat

as antidepressants, but they are used to treat anxiety as well. SSRIs are the primary, first line medication used to treat anxiety (aside from the anti-anxiety meds, like Ativan, Xanax, Klomnopin, ertc). Zoloft, an SSRI is THE most commonly Rx'd med for anxiety disorders. Here's a good article to read: http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/mental-health-medications/what-medications-are-used-to-treat-anxiety-disorders.

Have you tried exercise? It is said to test better than anti-anxiety meds for reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression.

603,....,any idea how cure soon or with which medicine anti TPO can treat?...my tsh level,T3,T4 are in normal range.....

Mitrapazine is Remeron which is an anti-depressent. I would doubt an antipsychotic would be given for anxiety. So although you are on two anti-anxiety agents (Etazolam and Xanax which is the brand name for Alprazolam) you have another diagnosis, I would assume and another set of issues to deal with. You can't discontinue the anti-anxiety agents as they would have to be withdrawn slowly or its dangerous. And of course your anxiety symptoms would return.

A couple of anti-depressants that have some anti-anxiety properties and may treat, to some extent, panic attacks are listed below: Zoloft is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Zoloft affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced and cause depression, panic, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

I now worry that if I dont stop it, my organs will be destroyed. My parents tried lot of times helping me to drop medicine, but I go depressed again and they are afraid that I cannot stay without medicine. Now since 1 month I have tried to drop medicine every Sunday and Thursday of the week .Please advise.

I know for me, I have tried 16 different anti-depressants and other than the ones that gave me severe nausea and the ones that made me feel like a walking Zombie (Effexor, Seroquel and Olanzapine), the others did nothing. From what I have read as well as independent, double-blind studies done by universities (not drug company trials), they showed that for mild to moderate depression, a sugar pill was sometimes more effective than any of the SSRI, SARI, anti-psychotics,Tri-cyclics, etc. meds.

If your dizziness is from your anxiety then there are different types of medications that you can try in my opinion, but the best class for me was the SSRI (Zoloft, Prozac, etc), but you are already on one, however, no specific anxiety medication 'treats' your dizziness...it helps treat your anxiety, which in turn should help treat the 'symptoms' related to your anxiety. There are many symptoms that can be very annoying and persistent as we experience anxiety, in my experience.

in Chinese medicine, since the kidneys are associated with anxiety, they would work on the kidneys with herbs and acupuncture, in ayurvedic medicine they would also do cleansing and then support for the adrenals and the liver. There are many different traditions; then, 5htp, an amino acid that produces serotonin in the body, taurine, which produces GABA in the body; tyrosine, which produces serotonin and norepinephrine in the body; perhaps glycine, which produces glutamate in the body.

Obviously, if a large portion of this is anxiety induced/related, then once you begin to treat the anxiety and see improvements, the other symptoms should folow suit as well. Best of luck, keep in touch, and let us know how you're doing!

My experience was that the treatments had a very, very, very light anti-depression + anti-anxiety benefit. It was nothing that lasted for a significant period of time, and nothing robust enough to get me functional in the world. In short, if it had cost me a lot of money, I would have been upset, but since my insurance covered it, it was mildly (a 1 on a scale of 10) beneficial. I also used moxibustion, an herb you burn like incense and hold under the bottom of your foot.

I did go to a therapist who dealt with chronic disease and went on anti depressants and anti anxiety meds. They did not hinder my MS diagnosis. I stayed in counseling awhile and am still on the medication. I also got over the fear or disability. I found worry is trying to control the future and you can't. Control is an illusion. Much of our lives are out of our control especially our health. I also learned that not every scenario of MS will happen.

Klonopin doesn't really work as well on an as needed basis as other benzos, because it takes longer to act (and acts longer as well). Benzos aren't sleep medicine, they're anti-anxiety medicine. Given what you say, I'm wondering, is this a general practitioner or a psychiatrist? Because this isn't how klonopin is usually used. Using benzos as needed is better than taking them regularly, because taken regularly they are addictive and hard to stop taking.

Thanks you for answering db0704 . When I went to the doctor my blood pressure was 151/88 and a pulse of 100. My doctor didn't want to put me on BP medicine yet. She wanted to make sure it wasn't hyperactive thyroid causing the high blood pressure so she is waiting on the results before she puts me on BP medicine. However she did put me on anti anxiety medicine. The anti anxiety she prescribed me was Buspirone. It's a low dose and I take them twice a day.

This question could also qualify as a depression one so I hope it's ok to post it here. I'm a 22 year old female & have anxiety, depression, & OCD. I have been on Paxil (the generic brand) for about three years now. A couple of weeks ago I started to feel like it wasn't working for me anymore. I can feel the anxiety & I get down. It's not as bad as before I was on the Paxil, but I think I need a change. I have a Doctors' appointment this week.

ve been experiencing anxiety and feelings of panic that not even a LARGE dose of anti-anxiety medicine can seem to help. Is there a connection? I quit cold turkey, but it's been over a week now. If it is related, shouldn't the withdrawal and anxiety related to this be gone by now??? Help!

Have any moms been put on depression and/or anxiety medicine during pregnancy?

Do you mean Oroxine (which is levothyroxine, which is used to treat hypothyroidism)? Zenpride is levosulpiride which is an anti-psychotic medication. Do you know why your doctor prescribed these 2 medications?

what's your thoughts on herbal meds. to treat ADD such has brightspark, focus, synaptol etc?

Benzos have a minor mood stabilization effect but they mainly treat anxiety. If Xanax becomes less effective over time and there are times where it is suddenly needed its essential to bring this to the attention of your psychiatrist as its a benzo that has a short half life so it has more of a potential for a person to build up a tolerance to it than some other medications.
