Suggestions for severe anxiety medication that would give me energy instead of making me want to sleep? i'm always tired/sleepy now! help please

Alternatives: It sounds like you're going through a tough time right now ... Unfortunately the most efficacious medications for anxiety are sedating because of the neurotransmitters they affect. I'd suggest talking to a psychologist and perhaps talking to your doctor about less sedating alternatives (such as Pristiq). Also, try dosing your current medication at night to see if that works. Hope that helps!
