Does anyone know what the best medication would be?

Question

I am currently going through a divorce. I am having trouble sleeping and eating. I am never calm and can never relax. I already have been diagnosed with general anxiety when I was very young. Does anyone know of any medication that would be good to calm me down? I am going to the doctor today to discuss my medication with her. Thanks for all answers

Answer 1

Hmm, I take effexor for my anxiety, it works for me but everyone is different... Lunesta is a really good sleep aid but if you're just wanting something over the counter try tylenol pm.

Answer 2

Medications only treat the symptoms, not the cause. Divorce is not easy by any measure. Meds will not make it any easier to deal with. It's going to sound harsh, but therapy would probably be best for you. Learn to make the most out of every day, stay busy, and don't concern yourself with the past. Eating pills will only create new problems, not solve existing ones.

Answer 3

You can take some OTC Anti-anxiety medication, like Hydroxyzine 25mg/tablet...it calms you, and yet its mild.

Answer 4

Xanax or Ativan.
