I was put on a med awhile back - but all it did was make me fall asleep (literally would make me fall asleep - daytime/nighttime/any time). So, stopped taking that for practical reasons.

So are there any medications that can help with anxiety?

Hey, I dont matter!

Yes, I take Klonopin. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder, not otherwise specified.

But it would be good, in my opinion, to see if something less strong and "addictive" might work, such as Valium.

I am sure there are some other drugs, too. I know Ativan is given because it acts more quickly, but I don't know how doping that is.

It seems to take a lot of drugs to knock me out.

What do you other folks take and with what results?

I take Paxil. It took a couple weeks to kick in but once it did it really worked. I still have moments of panic but they are easier to overcome.

Hi!

Klonopin helps me a ton but a low dose won't affect me at all.
Docs like Klonopin because if you take it as recommended, you shouldn't get a high from it. But with all of benzos, there is a risk of dependency so you just need to be responsible.

Good Luck!
