Are the medications you take among the top 25? Check out this Psych Central article and find out. Here are the top 5:
1. Xanax
2. Lexapro
3. Ativan
4. Zoloft
5. Prozac
Food for thought: "The biggest declines we see are drugs that have gone off-patent, including Wellbutrin (a decline of 73 percent in prescriptions) and Paxil (which didn’t even make it on this year’s list). Strattera — prescribed for ADHD — lost 42 percent of the prescriptions it had in 2005. And despite Zoloft’s strong showing in 4th place — down from 2nd place four years ago — it also lost 28 percent of its previous prescriptions."
