Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Buspirone (Buspar) and a SSRI combined are the best choice for a patient with anxiety and depression as they work synergistically to address both conditions. Buspirone is effective for anxiety while SSRI is effective for depression. Combining them can lead to better outcomes than either medication alone. Duloxetine (Cymbalta) and Fluoxetine (Prozac) are commonly used for depression but have limited effectiveness for anxiety. Oxazepam (Serax) is effective for anxiety but has limited effectiveness for depression.
