I have tried some of the ssri medications for anxiety and i refuse to try any more of them. what other nonaddictive options are there?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several.: Not all ssri's are made alike, with that said, venlafaxine (effexor) is a medication used for anxiety disorders. There is Buspirone (buspar) which is used to treat anxiety disorders. And, some of the older antidepresants, tca's, are used for anxiety. And, there are some newer options.
