A member asked:

I can't tolerate taking antidepressants for anxiety. are there any other options?

Lots: There are medication and psychotherapy options. Benzodiazapines are very effective for anxiety but have high risks for abuse and dependence. Buspar (buspirone) is a non addictive anxiety medication. But, more than 70% of people can be taken off meds or efffectively treated with cognitive behavior therapy by a psychologist: http://cpancf.Com/anxietydisordersbasics.Asp.
