A member asked:

What are some effective anxiety and depression meds?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Dr. Alan Ali answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

SSRI: Talk to your doctor about alternative antidepressants, such as snri or wellbutrin (bupropion) or anxiety medications if you are still on ssri. Sometimes switching from one ssri to another might help with anxiety.
