In reply to MEDS THAT GIVE RELIEF SIMILAR TO MARIJUANA, posted by matthhhh on July 23, 2003, at 12:18:07
There are MANY good drugs that can treat anxiety disorders. For milder cases, buspar might be a good place to start. For more intense anxiety, SSRIs, remeron, Effexor, and serzone could all be good options. I would probably recommend an SSRI, prozac is great for OCD for ex.
I would NOT recommend a benzo or ultram, as these lead to dependance and with someone who likes to use recreational drugs, addiction is a likelihood.
Talk with your dr -- he/she will make a diagnosis and treat you properly.
Also, realize that marijuana very often WORSENS anxiety and ocd, so be careful!
> Does anyone know if there are any meds out there that give relief for social anxiety or ocd, similar to that of marijuana?
