Answers:
For anxiety medications there's more than 50!. Most of them are members of the benzodiazepine class, and only about a dozen are used commonly!. There's probably 30 total that you can get in the US!.
For antidepressants there's about 19 in common usage!. That however discounts the tricyclics!. Hard to say how many there are, because a lot aren't made!. I'd say at least ten!. It also doesn't count the MAOIs - there's about 13 of them in clinical use, though you do not see them very often!.
If you're going to count different formulations (controlled release, transdermal, sublingual etc) you can probably double all those numbers!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
