A member asked:
I have gad& my anxiety's been out of control for a long time. i've tried klonopin and buspar, neither worked. is there another med you'd recommend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anxiety medication: I would consider an antidepressant that is also used for GAD. The SSRI's such as citalopram or sertraline are such examples. These medications help with longer-term anxiety management. I would also recommend finding a therapist if you don't have one already, as a therapist can help you develop tools and skills to manage anxiety as a supplement to any medications you may take.
