What is good daily med that only treats anxiety and depression?

I see a psychiatrist but she prescribed heavy meds for psychotic and other things. I feel these are too strong for me.

Hello to all

Hope everyone is having a good weekend and had a happy valentine 💘 day… I awoke with the continuing nagging anxiety which I reported to my cardiologist this past Monday on my 6 month follow up…she listened and talked with me at length….and I am so fortunate to have her as a doctor in many capacities… my wife is scheduled for oral surgery on the 14th of March for extractions and temporary dentures until her gums heal and then she will get the premium permanent dentures.. they are going the route of oral sedation using a couple of drugs… I know she is unnerved by the whole thought and process of it and having gone through it myself many years ago I feel her anxiety… but I assure her that this dentist and his team do this all the time and that she will feel better and be able to chew food properly afterwards…fortunately for both of us we have a yearly exam with our primary doctor the week before on March 7th.. she can address any issues about the oral surgery and the option of the oral sedation with him as well as her BP issues.. I also made a cardiology appointment for her with my cardiologist in April….and with my doctor on the same date that my wife sees him, I will once again address this long standing problem of morning anxiety and general anxiety which is causing me some concentration issues…maybe he can figure something out…please excuse the rambling but this is a post via Mayo Connect that relieves
some anxious feelings.. and I love to keep in touch with all of the mentors and people who come here… have a safe and healthy week..

Hello to all
Tomorrow my wife and I go for her oral surgery involving the extraction of her remaining teeth and replaced with full temporary dentures…the dental people got the ok just today from our primary care physician .. I am grateful for their ok for the oral sedation via Triazalon and Valium…I am uneasy but feel assured she will be in experienced hands…I pray for her to make it through and for the dentures to work out good.. it will take getting used too…I will probably need a klonopin before or during the waiting…. I hope all who come here have a safe and healthy weekend coming up..🙏 pvctom

I have been on 1. Venlafaxine HCL ER 75 for anxiety, and depression. I started on a lower dose from my MD.
Now I go to a psychiatrist and am on Wellbutrin generic, now I have energy but not hyperactive.
I am obese so I don’t want anything that makes me more hungry! Best wishes!
