QOTW: What meds do you take for your anxiety disorder?



  • I take no meds for anxiety.
  • I take an SSRI such as effexor, paxil, zoloft, prozac, lexapro, etc.
  • I take a tricyclic such as tofranil, anafranil, elavil, pamelor, etc.
  • I take an MAOI such as nardil, parnate, marplan, etc.
  • I take a beta blocker such as atenolol, propranolol, etc.
  • I take only a benzodiazepine such as xanax, ativan, klonopin, etc.
  • I take an antidepressant & a benzodiazepine together.
  • Other. Please feel free to vote, then post your meds in answer to any question.

No meds @ this time. I do take a beta blocker for mild blood pressure trouble & an irregular heartbeat. My pdoc says I may be getting some anti-anxiety effect from it. Anyone else want to share? jan

I take 40 mg. of Prozac daily and I take a Klonopin when I feel very very anxious and panicy because it helps me to function and go to work. I haven't been taking as much Klonopin as I was a month or two ago. I'm down to only taking them when I have some sort of a commitment that I have. Like last weekend was my friend's birthday so I was invited to dinner. I wanted to go because she is my best friend, but as the date got closer I was getting more and more nervous and anxious of being in a social situation so I had to take a Klonopin before I left the house. I'm proud of myself that I only have to take them now for that reason. About a month ago I had to take one every other day it seemed like.
