What anxiety medication/antidepressant worked best for you?

Question

What medication worked best for you? Or natural alternatives/ lifestyle changes? 
I am at a loss ☹️
Edit: I was on Zoloft and had several side effects. I’m on Buspar now (5mg, 2x a day) I will be upping that at my next appointment 
I still experience waves of anxiety and even depression. Just random waves. Also, physical anxiety, like my jaw shaking.

Answer

This book was a gamechanger. It discusses how some peoples brains dont produce enough serotonin and dopamine and how people turn to antidepressants which basically helps the brain do that. But all u need is amino acids because those are responsible for doing that. You can take a supplement. She recommends different supplements based on the type of depression and anxiety you experience. 5-htp, l-trytophan, st johns worts, melatonin. I took Now brand amino acid as well as tyrosine and felt better than i have in years! Look up the book on thrift books to get it cheap!

I have high blood pressure and anxiety, so my doctor hooked me up on propranolol and it works amazingly. Half for my pressure and the other half for my anxiety

Answer

i've tried paxil and zoloft and didn't like them, mirtazapine helped a lot and i had zero side effects from it and it helps you sleep. i even stopped taking it cold turkey when i found out i was pregnant (which i don't recommend) and i didn't get any side effects from stopping either. 
it helped my mood tremendously and made me want to be productive/gave me motivation which made me realize i actually wasn't lazy, just depressed lol.
