I am 27 year old male suffering from anxiety doctor prescribed me atarax 10g with bexol 2g thrice a day. Is it bexol will work for anxiety?

Question

There are excellent drugs for anxiety, namely ssri's and snri's. Please consult psychiatrist and get yourself evaluated and take treatment for the adequate duration as the psychiatrist mentions atarax and bexol will only help with the symptomatic treatment of anxiety like reduction in tremors for example and over time they will form a type of addiction. Then stopping these drugs will cause same symptoms of anxiety for you. Please consult a psychiatrist as advised. Also once you have started the appropriate drugs, you can also take some therapy from a psychologist which will help you. In the meantime, you can try google search for some relaxation techniques like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation which will help you.

Bexol is usually not a medication that is prescribed for core anxiety or isolated anxiety symptoms. I believe you could use atarax for mild anxiety.
