Clinical pharmacology of anxiolytics
Journal Title: Archives of Depression and Anxiety - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
It is increasingly difficult to define what an anxiolytic is, since anxiety is multiple although many symptoms are common. On the other hand the most used drugs in different forms of anxiety were first used as antidepressants. This article tries to put together the different effective anxiolytics used and describe their pharmacology.
