A guide to best anxiety drugs!

Many treatments for anxiety drugs are available in the market but not all treatments are effective and no one method can fit all. Therefore to know which treatment is good for your health, you should consult your doctor. He will tell you the best anxiety drug after examining your condition thoroughly. Let’s discuss some of the best anxiety drug which can cure anxiety successfully.

•    Benzodiazepines- These drugs are effective in treating panic attacks and phobia behavior. Some of the drugs belonging to this class include alprazolam (Xanax), lorazepam (Ativan), and lonazepam (Klonopin). These are also known as fast acting anxiety medications. However according to the experiences of different people, the withdrawal symptoms are bound to attack once you stop using the medication. These are also accompanied with other side effects like confusion and memory problems in elders.

•    Anti depressants- Among anti depressants, Tricyclic antidepressant, imipramine (Tofranil) is considered to be the best treatment for anxiety. Some of the other cyclic drugs include Anafranil (clomipramine), Norpramin (desipramine) and Pamelor (nortryptyline). The disadvantage of Tricyclic drugs is that they sometimes produce cardiac effects like heart palpitations and dizziness accompanied with sedation and weight gain. This class of drugs is slower than benzodiazepines and is often prescribed with benzodiazepines only during initial stages of anxiety disorder.

The second Tricyclic drug that is effective in treating anxiety is MAOI. They are meant to be highly effective in treating social phobia and panic disorder. But these also pose ill effects onto your health. Doctors advised people taking MOAI to take restricted diet because they contain tyramine which is generally present in certain foods. You can also employ SSRI drugs which includes Prozac (fluoxetine), and Zoloft (sertraline) and Paxil (paroxetine)

•    Azapirones- The drug under azipirones is buspirone which is sold under the brand name of BuSpar. This drug can be used to treat different types of anxiety disorders. Buspirones are also slower in acting than benzodiazepines. So if you want your anxiety to get removed quickly then going for benzodiazepines is the best option.

These are some of the best anxiety drugs which can prove helpful in treating your anxiety disorder. But before taking any drug, consult your doctor and know about the side effects and positive effects of each method so that you can employ one suiting your body and circumstances in life. Further the dosage of each drug should be carefully known from the doctor to avoid any adverse effects.
