Anxiety disorders can cause fear, dread, and other symptoms—both mental and physical. There are several types of anxiety, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, and phobias. Anxiety is very common in the United States—more than 19% of adults report having an anxiety disorder in the past year, and more than 31% of adults report having an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Between healthcare provider visits, therapy, and medication, treating anxiety can be costly, especially without insurance or discounts. Fortunately, there are ways to save.

There are different types of anxiety medications, and many are available in generic versions. You can save a significant amount of money by using a generic drug in combination with a SingleCare discount. Let’s look at some examples.
If you are paying without insurance, a one-month supply of the brand-name selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) Lexapro 10 mg costs an average of $550, depending on your pharmacy and location. However, you can pay as low as $9 per month with a SingleCare coupon for generic escitalopram.
Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are also popularly prescribed for anxiety. An example is Effexor XR—a one-month supply of brand-name Effexor XR 150 mg costs about $763. But if you fill your prescription with generic venlafaxine extended-release and use a SingleCare coupon, you could pay as little as $8 per month.
Benzodiazepines are another popular option for anxiety treatment. Without insurance, a one-month supply of 90 tablets of Xanax 1 mg costs $1,025. However, by choosing generic and using a SingleCare coupon, you can pay as low as $7.
Insurance plans, including commercial health insurance plans, Medicare prescription plans, and Medicaid plans, typically pay for generic anxiety medications. Brand-name drugs may have a higher out-of-pocket cost or may not be covered, especially if there is a generic version available. Because specific plans vary in their coverage—and Medicaid varies by state—you can contact your plan for the most up-to-date coverage and cost information.
If your insurance does not cover your medication, or if your copay is still too high with insurance, you can use free SingleCare coupons on your prescriptions—as well as refills. Remember, choosing generics will help with cost savings, so by using a generic along with your SingleCare discount, you could pay a fraction of the initial cost of the brand-name drug.
Using a SingleCare coupon is easy.

Sometimes mild or short-term anxiety can improve with self-care or on its own, but chronic or severe anxiety usually requires treatment. If you think you have anxiety, it’s important to see a healthcare provider for a diagnosis and treatment plan. According to the American Medical Association, untreated anxiety can lead to many problems, including depression, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Additionally, in some cases, untreated anxiety can lead to substance use problems. Your healthcare provider can give you medical advice on the best way to manage your anxiety, which may be therapy, medication, or both.
The length of treatment varies based on individual circumstances. Some people may have mild anxiety, and with therapy, may be able to slowly wean off their medication. Others may need to take anxiety medication for years or even a lifetime. SSRIs or SNRIs are typically used as a long-term treatment. Benzodiazepines are controlled substances and have the potential for abuse and dependence. Because of these risks, healthcare providers may prescribe a benzodiazepine for a short period of time—or longer, under close supervision.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, anxiety can be a result of a combination of factors, including:
Chemical imbalances in the brain
Changes in part of the brain called the amygdala
Genetics (inherited)
Environmental factors, such as a traumatic event or stress that is severe or long-lasting
