Lorazepam: Relieves physical and psychological symptoms
Lorazepam belongs to the benzodiazepine class and has anti-anxiety, sedation and muscle relaxation effects.

This mechanism allows Lexapro to reduce communication between brain areas that may cause anxious feelings and emotional responses.
Lexapro is commonly used to treat acute anxiety disorders and can be administered orally or intravenously under the supervision of a physician. It can effectively relieve physical symptoms caused by anxiety, such as heart palpitations, chest tightness and muscle tension, and help improve sleep quality.
Buspirone: Modulates neurotransmitters
Buspirone (Duloxetine) is a selective norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). It works by increasing the concentration of these two neurotransmitters in the brain. It has a positive impact on mood stability and anxiety management.
Buspirone is widely used in various types of anxiety disorders, including common generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder.
