How Does Medication Treat Anxiety Disorders?
Medications in combination with therapy can be effective in anxiety treatment.

Some medications for anxiety include:

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): These medications increase serotonin, which helps regulate mood and emotions.
Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs): These medications work on the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, which also affects mood.
Benzodiazepines: Also known as benzos, this medication has a rapid effect on anxiety by working on gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
Buspirone: Also known as Buspar, this medication is commonly used as a non-narcotic option for people with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
At the Trauma Therapy Center in West Palm Beach, we will thoroughly explain the uses and side effects of any medication you take for anxiety disorders. Before beginning or discontinuing any medication, your therapist will support you in identifying positive changes that can be made in sleep, nutrition, and physical activity.
