Example of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) medication

Medication for Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is often used alongside therapy when symptoms are severe or persistent. Common options include:

  • SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors): e.g., sertraline, escitalopram.
  • SNRIs (Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors): e.g., venlafaxine, duloxetine.
  • Short-term anti-anxiety medication: such as benzodiazepines, used with caution due to dependency risk.
  • Other options: Pregabalin or buspirone in certain cases.
Only a GP or psychiatrist can prescribe these in Australia, ensuring they are safe and tailored to your needs. Book a consultation now to discuss whether medication might be part of your treatment plan.
