A member asked:

Is there a good medication to calm down nervousness?

Calm nerves: Benzodiazepines (xanax, ativan, klonopin, etc) calm nerves effectively and quickly but can cause sleepiness and don't mix with alcohol. Long term use can cause dependence. Many doctors try to use antidepressants such as Cymbalta (duloxetine) in the long run even if they use bz acutely.
