What are good meds that treat anxiety and not depression?

August 7, 2008  

I have VERY bad anxiety. To a point where going out of the house is IMPOSSIBLE. I have to self talk myself before I go out if that doesn't work I leave it in the hands of God. If I am depressed I am only depressed because I can't control my anxiety. What is a good drug that treats anxiety and not depression?

Ativan and xanax are antianxiolytics, but are extremely addictive. They work very well to quell anxiety but you build a tolerance that requires a higher dose in a very short period of time. Any good doctor will only prescribe these meds for short term use and will suggest you get some counselling help to learn how to control your anxiety. Long term that's your best bet…it seems if you are self talking already, that's a start. The antidepressant paxil is good for social anxiety and might be what you need. It's not addictive and I've seen it make a huge difference in a few of my friends lives who were becoming rather reclusive because of post menopausal anxiety. Best of luck to you.
