Non narcotic anxiety/depression meds?

Is there any anxiety /depression meds that are non narcotic and safe to use for an addict that will not be habit forming with very low side effects. I really need them . Bcuz I have already relapsed 2-3 times and usually I relapse when I get anxiety

ibizan gave you good advice and i hope you pay attention to the part where you need to be honest about what is going on with you.

There are-Celexa,Zoloft,Paxil, Trazedone-helps w/sleep,Amitryptiline aka Elavil-old cheap and it works!BUT you MUST be honest with the prescribing doctor of these about your history of addiction.If the doc is not knowledgeable about addiction you need to go elsewhere and find one who is!AND different meds work differently on different ppl...so what works for one might not work for you!
