    Currently I'm taking:

    -Saphris for sleep: works well so far, though it's only been two weeks.
    -Benzos: they're only marginally effective, but better than nothing. Lately it's been 3 mg/day of Klonopin.
    -Adderall or Vyvanse: I have both in my collection of meds. I save the Vyvanse for when I'm up early enough to want all-day coverage.

    That's all the psych meds. We'll ignore stuff for other conditions.

    All the psych meds I've ever tried. I'll highlight all those which I feel have zero value:

    1. Paxil
    2. Prozac
    3. Lexapro
    4. Zoloft
    5. Luvox
    6. Celexa
    7. Cymbalta
    8. Serzone
    9. imipramine
    10. doxepin
    11. amitriptyline
    12. Xanax
    13. Valium
    14. Klonopin
    15. Ativan
    16. Seroquel
    17. Zyprexa
    18. Abilify
    19. Saphris
    20. Adderall
    21. dextroamphetamine
    22. Vyvanse
    23. Concerta
    24. Nuvigil
    25. Provigil
    26. tramadol
    27. Rozerem
    28. Lunesta
    29. Ambien
    30. Lamictal
    31. Neurontin
    32. Wellbutrin
    33. Buspar
    34. Straterra

    34! Can anybody here top that?

    I took Lexapro for a few months while in group therapy and it really helped me. Took a while to get to a good medication for me. Cymbalta made my anxiety worse, on which I had the worst panic attack of my life. I weaned myself off Lexapro as I was running out, and now just have a prescription of Xanax for my high anxiety moments. Keep it as a little safety net every where I go.
    It all depends on you..unfortunately you need to try different medications to see what works for you. A lot of the time, the side effects affect you in a bad way before it starts getting better -- the unfortunate truth with these meds. That's why they say "side effects: depression.." on a medication that's supposed to treat anxiety/depression. Get a good doctor and give it time.

    I take Celexa, Abilify, and Klonopin for anxiety. The Abilify was given to me to counteract the severe depression caused by the Celexa (it made me very depressed but helped my anxiety) but has IMMENSELY helped my anxiety. I was put on it last spring and was able to go to family functions (Christmas and Thanksgiving) for the first time since I was a kid because of it. I usually spend the holidays alone unless my mom stays home with me. I also got back in touch with my cousins, other family members, and old childhood friends through facebook because it has helped my anxiety so much.
    The Celexa doesn't help with my social anxiety at all, but it does help with my sensitivity to lights and sound, etc. as well as a little with general anxiety and the Klonopin helps with panic and anxiety attacks, etc.
