Anti-Anxiety Medications
Most anxiety disorders have at least some biological component and often respond to medication. Anxiety medication, particularly antidepressants, can be very useful in treating anxiety disorders and is often used in combination with other forms of therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy. Antidepressants and anxiolytics (anti-anxiety medications) are often used to ease symptoms of anxiety so that other therapy can go forward. Medication may be a short-term therapy, or it may be required for a lengthy period of time, depending on the patient. Below is a chart listing the names of drugs commonly prescribed for anxiety disorders, their benefits and drawbacks.
