Scott - I am not a big advocate of pills. I try to minimize the amount I take if possible. I am currently taking Effexor for depression. It is a bit different from the SSRIs. It is an SNRI -serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. It is supposed to work to help reduce depression and anxiety. I have also started taking niacinamide which is the non-flushing version of niacin or B3 and it seems to help with my anxiety. You can google it so see info about niacinamide and anxiety. Good luck Scott
