An [[anxiolytic]] (also antipanic or antianxiety agent) is a substance or pharmaceutical that inhibits anxiety. These substances include agents such as [[opioids]], [[benzodiazepines]], serotonergic substances, and MAOIs. These agents contrast to anxiogenics, which increase anxiety. Examples of anxiogenics include agents such as Ro5-4864 (4'-chlorodiazepam), which also acts as a convulsant.<ref>File, S. E., & Lister, R. G. (1983).
