Hope this is in the right place, I guess because certain pharmaceuticals and notably psychiatric medications are only approved in certain countries I would put it in here.
Executive summary:
Take 150mg venlafaxine XR daily, helps with major depression but anxiolytic properties are pretty inconsistent. I am well aware of the inherent dangers from prolonged benzodiazepine use and the dirty tolerance/habit that would come from using these. Reason I ask is that I have a tendency to self medicate with codeine, alcohol and marijuana which all help in allowing conversations with other people, but are not sustainable and detrimental to health and studies.
Does anyone know the prevalence (ie: ability to be prescribed in AU and general willingness of GP to write up) or any other information on efficacy of the following (for anxiety specifically):
Lithium, buproprion, amineptine, DRIs, Buspirone, reboxetine,
Basically something that does not make you drowsy and will help with the upper ends of what one can call a severe anxiety problem. Are SNDRIs, DRIs, NDRIs, ARIs in Australia? All from what I have seen and heard of in my limited experience are SSRIs, SNRIs and tetra/tricyclics.
