What medications are good for treating anxiety?

There is no best drug for treating anxiety. Every patient is unique and the anxiety drug that may be best for one person, may not work well for another. That's why it is common for physicians to have their patients try a drug for several weeks or months and see if it works well for them. If it doesn't, the physician may prescribe a different drug instead. It is best to consult with your licensed and trained health professional to find out the best drug options for your anxiety, and they can work with you to determine what is ideal. For some patients, a good drug can make all the difference in the world on their ability to cope wtih anxiety. By the way, other useful treatments, in addition to drugs, that can lessen anxiety include: regular exercise; a good diet and proper rest; little or no caffeine such as from coffee or soft drinks; keeping your mind mainly focused on the positive; and proper breathing. Good luck and good health!
