Anxiolytic (Collection: Mental Health )

A medicine that relieves anxiety. Common examples are Benzodaizapines (Valium, Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin), and Alcohol (which pushes more or less the same chemical buttons in the brain as the Benzodaizapines). While Benzodaizapines and Alcohol are all fairly addictive, there are several anxiolytic medicines that are less so.
