Medications

Benzodiazepines like Xanax(zzzzz),Valium(more zzzs),Klonopin(pickup sticks).

  • SSRIs/SNRIs like Zoloft,Paxil,Effexor etc(no giggles this time):Known to regulate serotonin levels in brain leading reduced anxiety symptoms.These have fewer side effects compared benzodiazepine counterparts.optional-more research outside scope of article

For some individuals who don’t tolerate traditional psychotropic medications, ,alternative therapies such as homeopathy come into play.. These include holistic options like acupuncture,massage,yoga(recommended because it involves stretching/taking oneself so seriously), herbal supplements(again proceed with caution)/essentials oils/others(am sure something else can go there).
