Antianxiety Medicines

Antianxiety (an-tie-ang-zye'-uh-tee) medicines are used for people who feel too nervous. You may feel too worried or too tense. You may get so nervous you can't go to school or work. Things that used to be easy for you to do might start to be hard to do. Sometimes antianxiety medicines are used to help people who have other problems too. We will talk about this later.
