I've tried a friend's oxazepam and it works wonders but my body quickly became used to it. Not super helpful info

Propanolol. I'm on 10mg twice a day as needed. It works great and doesn't make me feel sleepy. Hydroxyzine made me super aggressive. Propanolol has worked for me for 3 years so far.

Hydroxyzine works really well for me. I take one in the morning with my other morning meds, and then I can take one later if I need to. It’s extremely helpful for my anxiety 👌🙃

For anxiety I take a mix of: Fluoxetine (Prozac/SSRI for overall management/prevention) + Clonazepam (Klonopin/Benzo for panic attacks) + Hydroxyzine (Atarax/daily anxiety management, technically an anti-histamine [like for allergies]) With this mix together things are managed. It did take a while to get to the right doses. Now that I’m, they’re great!

I have taken Lorazepam. It worked for a while but then my body must have gotten used to it and it didn't work anymore. Thanks for writing back it really helps.

SSRIs have never worked for me but an SNRI I started maybe a year ago has done wonders for my anxiety. It's called Effexor/Venlafaxine. I also take hydroxyzine as needed if I'm having a particularly bad anxiety day but since starting Effexor, I haven't needed it nearly as much.
