Anxiety Medications We Prescribe
Our clinic offers a full range of anxiety medications, carefully chosen based on symptom profile and patient history:
- SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors): Common first-line treatments such as Lexapro (Escitalopram), Zoloft (Sertraline), Prozac (Fluoxetine), and Paxil (Paroxetine), which balance serotonin and reduce both generalized and social anxiety.
- SNRIs (Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors): Medications like Effexor (Venlafaxine) and Cymbalta (Duloxetine), effective for both anxiety and physical symptoms such as muscle tension and chronic pain.
- Benzodiazepines: Short-term relief options (e.g., Lorazepam, Clonazepam) for acute anxiety or panic attacks, used cautiously due to risk of dependence.
- Buspirone: A non-sedating medication for generalized anxiety that does not carry the same dependence risks as benzodiazepines.
- Beta-Blockers: Propranolol and others may be prescribed for performance anxiety, reducing physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat and tremors.
