Common anti-anxiety medications

At Thriveworks, we may prescribe the following anti-anxiety medications to help manage anxiety disorders and other related conditions:

FAQs about anti-anxiety medications

What does anti-anxiety medication make you feel like?

The goal of taking an anti-anxiety medication is to help reduce the severity and frequency of your anxiety symptoms. They will not change your personality but can make managing day-to-day life feel easier by reducing worry, tension, and irritability. If you begin to feel worse after taking an anti-anxiety medication, talk with your provider immediately.

What anti-anxiety medications can cause a false positive pregnancy test?

Most anti-anxiety medications will not impact the results of a home pregnancy test. If you are unsure if you may be pregnant, consult with your primary care physician or OBGYN.

Who can prescribe anti-anxiety medication?

At Thriveworks, our psychiatry providers are primarily licensed psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. However, any licensed medical professional who is able to prescribe medication can prescribe anti-anxiety medication. This may include your OBGYN, primary care doctor, or others in your care environment.

Can you take anti-anxiety medication while pregnant?

Some anti-anxiety medications may be an option to take while pregnant. If you are or may become pregnant and are taking anti-anxiety medication, consult with your provider. Your provider will work with you to consider and manage risks and benefits during your peripartum period.

Does anti-anxiety medication cause weight gain or loss?

Anti-anxiety medication and the impact of taking medication may cause weight fluctuations in some people. This could be a direct result of the medication or due to a change in severity of your anxiety symptoms. If you have concerns about managing your weight while taking anti-anxiety medication, consult with your provider.

What is the best anti-anxiety medication for the elderly?

Managing anti-anxiety medication for the elderly should consider the client’s full health and any other medications taken. Providers will often recommend taking the lowest dose possible that provides an alleviation of their symptoms.

How long will I have to be on anti-anxiety medication?

Your course of treatment will be unique to your situation — some people take anti-anxiety medication for just a few months while others may stay on them for several years. If you start feeling better, discuss next steps and your long-term goals with your provider. Do not stop taking your medication without oversight and guidance from a medical professional.

What if my anti-anxiety medication is not working?

If you don’t feel like the anti-anxiety medication you’ve been prescribed is alleviating your symptoms, have a conversation with you provider. The medication may need more time to work, you may benefit from a higher dose, or another medication may be a better fit for you.

How long does it take for anti-anxiety medication to start working?

Most anti-anxiety medications take up to 8 weeks of regular use to be fully effective, with some people beginning to feel symptom relief as quickly as 1-2 weeks after starting.

Can I get a prescription online?

You can meet with a licensed provider at Thriveworks, in person or online depending on your state. If it’s clinically appropriate, they may prescribe medication for a diagnosed mental health condition. Your provider will send your prescription to a local pharmacy to be filled.

Can I use my health insurance for prescriptions and refills?

Thriveworks accepts most major insurance plans for psychiatry and therapy services. Your insurance may also cover the cost of any medication your provider prescribes, which can be filled at a local pharmacy. Check with your plan to confirm your medical and prescription coverage.

How do I get a prescription at Thriveworks?
