I have anxiety and insomia.. what are the best mediciines to take over a long period of time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anxiety & Insomnia: If you've had these symptoms for more than 2 weeks, you need a careful evaluation by your primary care physician -- and probably a psychiatrist also -- before any medications are prescribed. Various physical conditions can produce these symptoms, and so can illnesses like major depression and certain anxiety disorders. Antidepressant medicines can be useful, and are not habit-forming.
