What meds have you tried?

Hello, I'm new here

I'm just curious but what medications have you tried for your anxiety? Were they successful? What side effects did you get?

Welcome! I'm on Zoloft right now, but it's not working how I hoped. My anxiety remains the same and I'm tired most of the day. Been on it for about 2 months.

Welcome Agatha. I've been on many different anxiety and depression medications over the past 40 years. Are there any particular medications you're curious about?

hi... ive also been on several anxiety and depression meds. im not stalking you triceps, lol! we just seem to check out the same posts. my only thing i have to say is stay clear of benzos...there are alot of other anxiety medications out there and those are very addictive you dont want to go thru an addiction along with anxiety or panic believe me...its terrifying!

Setraline, which is Zoloft, worked for me for years. That was combined with therapy. I’ve never been on anything else, but I was pleased it worked so well. I went off when pregnant and will probably go back on since my anxiety has been ramping up.

I just started taking propranolol. It seems to actually work on making me feel less anxious!

Thank you all for the responses, it's been very helpful!

I was put on Paxil, which did nothing, and then Effexor, which also did nothing, by my doctor. They didn't have much effect on me that I noticed. Eventually I started to forget to take the medication some days and then just stopped taking it.
