are there any effective non addictive medications for anxiety
However, these medications are NOT addictive for people with clinical anxiety disorders, such as panic disorder. One exception: people with past substance-abuse issues do not do well on the anti-anxiety agents. Another medication will work better.
It is essential you consult with your psychiatrist about any medication, due to individual and/or interaction effects, and additional medical complications. It is also essential that you work with a psychiatrist that FULLY understands anxiety and has kept up with the latest research on medical treatment for anxiety.
