Resumo

O transtorno de ansiedade generalizada (TAG) é um transtorno crônico e prevalente, mas também um dos menos estudados entre os transtornos de ansiedade. Os antidepressivos inibidores seletivos da recaptação da serotonina (ISRS) e inibidores da recaptação da serotonina e noradrenalina (IRSN) são considerados medicamentos de primeira linha no tratamento de TAG, porém não são incomuns casos de refratariedade, intolerância ou a presença de contraindicações ao uso dessas subtâncias. Diversas substâncias, como a pregabalina e a quetiapina, surgem, então, como alternativas para o tratamento do TAG nesses casos, assim como para a substituição dos benzodiazepínicos como medicações adjuvantes aos antidepressivos.
