Anxiety Treatment Options
Anxiety is a health condition, not a product. This category is designed to help customers compare prescription medicine options that may be used in anxiety care, while recognizing that the appropriate choice depends on the diagnosis, treatment goals, other medicines, and a prescriber's judgment.
What types of medicines may be used for anxiety?
In the United States, anxiety care can include medicines intended for short-term symptom relief as well as antidepressant medicines used for longer-term management of conditions such as generalized anxiety disorder. Antihistamine anxiolytics, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), and tricyclic antidepressants have materially different clinical roles. They should not be treated as interchangeable options simply because they appear in the same anxiety category.
What should you compare before choosing an option?
Start with the medicine family, active ingredient, and dosage form your prescriber has selected. Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine and anxiolytic, duloxetine is an SNRI, and doxepin is a tricyclic antidepressant. Form also matters: we list Atarax as tablets, Cymbalta as delayed-release capsules, and Sinequan as capsules. Delayed-release capsules have a different formulation from standard tablets or capsules, so the prescribed product and strength should guide your selection.
Which anxiety medicines do we list?
We list three prescription options in this category. The comparison below shows the strengths, commercial package ranges, and starting prices we show for each product. Package choices can vary by strength.
| Product | Active ingredient | Form | Listed strengths | Package quantities | Price from |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Atarax | Hydroxyzine | Tablets | 10 mg, 25 mg | 90-360 tablets | $79.00 |
| Cymbalta | Duloxetine | Delayed-release capsules | 20 mg, 30 mg, 40 mg, 60 mg | 30-360 tablets | $71.00 |
| Sinequan | Doxepin | Capsules | 10 mg, 25 mg, 75 mg | 30-360 tablets; 10 mg is offered in 180- and 360-tablet packages | $86.00 |
What is their prescription status in the United States?
All three medicines require a prescription in the United States. Cymbalta delayed-release capsules are FDA-approved under NDA 021427. The FDA Drugs@FDA record lists Atarax 10 mg and 25 mg oral tablets as discontinued, and Sinequan capsules were previously FDA-approved but have been discontinued. These named-product regulatory records do not determine which products we list or can dispatch; they are useful context when discussing options with a US prescriber.
