Anxiolytics (anti-anxiety medication) mainly include benzodiazepines, buspirone and few of the other agents like antidepressants, antiepileptics etc. In this video, all these drugs were discussed along with a note on their common side effects.

Barbiturates are nowadays less preferred due to high side effect profile and drug interactions.
