Question: 1 / 400

Which medication is NOT considered an Antianxiety Drug?

Klonopin (clonazepam)

Xanax (alprazolam)

Effexor (venlafaxine)

Antianxiety drugs are used to manage symptoms of anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and other conditions associated with anxiety. They work by affecting certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin, GABA, and norepinephrine. Options A, B, and D (Klonopin, Xanax, and Ativan) are all considered Antianxiety Drugs because they share a similar mechanism of action and are commonly prescribed to treat anxiety. However, Effexor (Venlafaxine) is classified as an Antidepressant because it primarily works on serotonin and norepinephrine levels in the brain. While it may be used to help manage some symptoms of anxiety, it is not classified as an Antianxiety Drug. Therefore, Effexor is the correct answer as it is the only option that is not considered an Antianxiety Drug.
