Anti-Anxiety Medicine
Anxiety is currently treated with a variety of medications. [6] Examples include:
The benzodiazepine family
These are tranquilizers used to treat anxiety disorders of brief duration. They delay the functioning of the central nervous system and alleviate anxiety. Thus, our body feels both physically and mentally more relaxed. Benzodiazepine-based medications include Valium, Ativan, Librium, etc.
Intermittent use of these medications may result in addiction. These medications should only be taken as prescribed by a physician. Although these medications provide relief, they have numerous adverse effects. However, the adverse effects of such medications depend on their usage and dosage.
A state of drowsiness
Loss of long term memory
Experiencing headaches
Vision issues
In extreme circumstances, they may induce seizures.
