My immediate family and I have a history of anxiety and depression. I can tell you that anti-depressants work so very differently on each person so I hesitate to say what I take.

I do think that taking any of the benzodiazepines is a bad idea! Many of them are impossible to get off of. I noticed that taking GABA had a calming affect on me but like anything else you have to be careful to take do research and take the recommended amount.

Most importantly find a doctor who listens and wants to help you.
