Does L-theanine help at all?

Some doctors would choose Paxil or Effexor if they determine GAD is present. Nardil is another drug to consider. I don't know if you would want to start playing with benzodiazepines (Xanax or Ativan) and neuroleptics (Seroquel or Zyprexa) at this point, but they can be acutely effective. Buspar? I don't know. Some people do well with it, even though it has long had a reputation for being less effective than BZD. I guess it depends on what is being treated. As with ADs, Buspar takes several weeks to work.
