Medications Used to Treat Anxiety Disorders

There are four major classes of medications that mental health professionals use to treat anxiety disorders:选择性血清素再摄取抑制剂（SSRIS），血清素 - 去甲肾上腺素再摄取抑制剂（SNRIS），苯二氮卓和tricyclic antidepressants（TCAS）。

选择性血清素再摄取抑制剂（SSRIS）

选择性血清素再摄取抑制剂通过引起更多的血清素在大脑中可用，从而提高了你的心情。SSRIS喜欢Prozac（氟西汀），Luvox（Fluvoxamine），paxil.（帕罗西汀）和zoloft.(sertraline) are good choices for any type of anxiety disorder.

血清素 - 去甲肾上腺素再摄取抑制剂与SSRI类似的工作，因为它们导致血清素的水平以及脑肾上腺素，在大脑中更高。实例是Cymbalta（Duloxetine），Effexor（venlafaxine）和Pristiq（Desvenlafaxine）。SNRIS被认为是SSRIS的有效性，特别是对于广泛性的焦虑症。副作用可能包括头痛，性功能障碍，失眠，胃部不适和增加的血压。

苯二氮卓

Different people respond differently to benzodiazepines. Some people may need to take them two or three times a day, and others only once a day, or on an as-needed basis. The dose is generally started at a low level and gradually raised until symptoms are diminished or removed. The dose will vary a great deal depending on the symptoms and your body chemistry. Benzodiazepines are sometimes given on an根据需要只是压力或焦虑袭击。

Use Caution With Benzodiazepines

Long-term use of benzodiazepines is not recommended because you can develop tolerance and/or dependence. Tolerance means that you need to take more of the medication in order for it to work. Dependence means that you develop withdrawal symptoms if you stop taking the medication. Some people abuse these medications in order to get high. Longer-acting medications such as Klonopin or Valium may produce milder withdrawal symptoms than short-acting medications like Xanax and Ativan.

You should abstain from alcohol when taking benzodiazepines because the interaction between benzodiazepines and alcohol can lead to serious and possibly life-threatening complications. Be sure to tell your doctor about other medications you are taking.

Be sure to talk with the doctor before discontinuing a benzodiazepine. A withdrawal reaction may occur if the treatment is stopped abruptly. Withdrawal symptoms may include anxiety, shakiness, headache, dizziness, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and/or seizures.
