I'm confused by his posting. In one thread he doesn't want medication. In this one he wants to know the best one. One confused med student for sure.
I can add absolutely nothing to what nursegirl has said regarding what the best antianxiety med is. She gave you the perfect answer.
What I CAN add is another question mark wondering if YOU are having anxiety issues. As a med student, you have endless resources to investigate benzos. I'm also fairly certain you have access to medical professioanls who could offer you learned opinions. This raises the question of why you are on an anxiety forum. My guess is that possibly you don't want anyone you associate with to know you may be struggling with some anxiety issues of your own.
If you ARE having some anxiety issues, I hope you will share them with us. Dealing with anxiety is difficult enough. Dealing with anxiety AND med school would be a nightmare. One you don't need to endure. Talk to us. We CAN help.

I don't know how far along in your studies you are....but if you don't know already....you will soon know that there is NO answer to that kind of question.
Every person is different....requires different things from medicatiins, reacts differently TO them, etc etc. What is one person's miracle drug is the next patient's nightmare.
Are you struggling with anxiey? If so, maybe you'd like to share a bit with us about that? This forum is an excellent resource, not to mention a wonderful place for emotional support.
