3. Medications for GAD
Medication can be a helpful component of your toolkit, especially when combined with therapy. Common options include:
- Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs): First-line treatments like sertraline or escitalopram.
- Buspirone: Specifically designed for anxiety without the sedative effects of benzodiazepines.
Always consult a healthcare professional to determine the best option for your needs.
