Do Lamictal And Risperidone Help Cure Anxiety?

Posted on Tue, 22 Dec 2015

Question: Do lamictal and risperodone help with anxiety? My doctor is somewhat evasive about this.

Brief Answer:
Yes, these medications help with anxiety!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this anxiety that you have reported. These medications do help with anxiety but a better drug of choice should be lorazepam. Anxiety in a context of other psychotic conditions is that which is best managed with lamcital and rsperidone.

I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well and thank you so much for using our services. Fell free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

I was on lorazepam for 4 months following a near-fatal overdosing of Xanax and chlonopin (sp?). I went through the withdrawal and now take it rarely for insomnia or major anxiety episodes. So are those other two meds okay?
