Looking for anxiety med that not contribute to dementia or bone loss

I stopped taking Lexapro, which controlled my anxiety, because I am a senior with osteoporosis and a family history of Alzheimers. I am looking for an anxiety medication that is not associated with bone loss or dementia.

Hello @Liane1, you will notice that we moved your post to the discussion where you originally posted your question so that members can see your question and share their experiences and suggestions. I found the following article that may provide some helpful information:

Medications That Can Be Bad for Your Bones - American Bone Health: https://americanbonehealth.org/bone-health/medications-that-can-be-bad-for-your-bones-2/

Have you talked to your doctor about stopping the Lexapro and if there are better alternatives for you?
