Question 1

what is the best anxiety medicine?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety: In psychiatry, we never know upfront what works best for whom. Our assessment is based on making correct diagnosis, discussing benefits & possible side effects, then starting minimum dose of medication based on that, then closely monitoring response. Sort of.

Question 2

what is the best anxiety medicine for atheletes?

Accepted Answer

CBT: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an effective intervention you can learn with a therapist. You can start by finding a lot of educational material online.

Question 3

what is the best anti anxiety medicine for the physical symptoms of anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety: Often best drugs for anxiety and physical symptoms are ssris or selective serotonin reuptake  inhibitors such as lexapro, (escitalopram) zoloft, prozac, etc.

Question 4

what is the best medicine for anxiety and depession?

Accepted Answer

No endorsement: This is not how medicine works and it definitely is out of bounds for this simple health application.  There are too many variables for choosing the appropriate medication for a patient.  Their history, their other medications, their diagnosis, etc all must be taken into account when choosing a medication.  We often never use the words 'best' to describe medication but look for 'effective' drugs.

Question 5

so what is the best anxiety, panic attack, and social anxiety supplements to take out there? cause i really don't want on prescription medicine.

Accepted Answer

Not just supplements: Supplements are not the only non-pharmaceutical treatment for anxiety issues.  Psychotherapy can be highly effective, and the results stay with you forever in terms of insight and skills gained.  Supplements will not match this.  However, as you wrote before -- people have used l-theanine, st. John's wort, passion flower, hops, kava, magnesium, 5-htp, etc.  Effects vary by individual -- no "best.".

Question 6

do you know which is the best drug for anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Your physician or: Psychiatrist should take a comprehensive history to determine which type of anxiety disorder you have.  Then a tailored plan can be made for you.  A good response can be determined by how effectively your anxiety symptoms are quelled and by side effects you may be experiencing.

Question 7

what is the best way to deal with anxiety with medicine?

Accepted Answer

With no meds: Actually and somewhat counterintuitive, best way to deal with anxiety is without meds, but with proper adjustment techniques. Talk to your doc about seeing a clinical psychologist for an assessment. Severe cases may still benefit from meds, but non pharmacological approaches are best in the long run.

Question 8

what are the best, non medicine related ways to treat anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Exercise!: Daily exercise and healthy eating and sleeping. Keep away from drug, excessive caffeine, alcohol, and smoking. See a therapist to work on relaxation. Consider yoga or tai chi.

Question 9

what is the best way to fight anxiety sindrom natuarly withou drugs?

Accepted Answer

Several, not best: There are several types of anxiety & as a result several approaches are needed. Without drugs means primarily cbt (cognitive behavioral therapy) & desensitization therapy. There are a few natural but quite weak herbal remedies. Meditation, acupuncture & acupressure are useful non drug anxiety treatments as well. Significant anxiety often needs meds to get started and at times to stay well also.

Question 10

which is really the best medication/drug for long term cure of anxiety. ?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety is best: treated with cognitive behavior therapy, clinical hypnosis, practice of the Relaxation Response (see book of the same name by Benson).  Medication may play a role but don't rely on that alone.  Behavioral techniques taught by a clinical psychologist are long-lasting and will help in other areas beyond the present-day stressors.  Peace and good health.
