Question : Do lamictal and risperodone help with anxiety?

Answered by Dr. Sassen S Kwasa (18 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
They may do so to some degree but not the best choice for anxiety.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome Back to HCM: Please note that these two medications will treat anxiety, they may take the edge off, but they do not treat anxiety and I would not prescribe them for that purpose, Lorazepam which you have tried would be the go to drug for anxiety.
