Can Medication Aid Anxiety And Depression

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Vanderbijlpark, ZA

I was thinking of seeing a psychiatrists and wonder if pills can actually aid my anxiety so I can stop feeling so anxious around people. If meds work how long does a person start to feel better about themselves.

Pregabalin made a huge difference to my anxiety. When I'm well I don't suffer from anxiety at all and I've only been on it for a couple of months.

I've found propanolol quite good for anxiety in my experience depression is harder to treat with pills some of the medications can make you suicidal....i wouldn't personally recommend Prozac sertraline has possibly been better

Within moments you'll feel better. Ask your Dr for the right anxiety meds.

They can help, but it can be a long drawn out process finding the right one for you. It usually takes a couple of weeks for them to start working.
