What medicine can i take for exessive stress?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Excess stress: Consider a cup of strong chamomille tea. Add in deep breathing exercises. If you are diagnosed with an anxiety disorder (which is more than feeling stressed) then Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or buspar may be helpful.
