Can you tell me some anxiolytic drugs you can suggest in alternative to benzodiazepines?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A couple: Buspirone; vistaril; ssri's like paroxetine, sertraline, escitalopram; mirtazepine; trazodone, etc. Psychotherapy can be very effective. So can homeopathy; also certain herbs like lemon balm, kava, and theanine (a component of green tea).
