Este é um estudo transversal, no qual a amostra foi analisada por meio de um questionário semiestruturado. Entre 264 acadêmicos, 21% (n = 56) fazem uso de medicamentos para tratar ansiedade. Entre estes usuários, a maioria foi do sexo feminino, quase metade apresentavam de 21 a 25 anos, a maioria solteiros, residindo sozinhos, e com alta renda familiar. Esses acadêmicos optaram pelo curso de medicina principalmente, por realização profissional e pessoal, e o principal medicamento utilizado foi a fluoxetina. Ainda, 39% dos entrevistados se automedicam, apesar de 64,3% estarem sob acompanhamento médico, mais da metade apresentam efeitos colaterais e 87,5% apresentaram melhorias dos sintomas de ansiedade após o início do uso. O uso de medicamentos entre os estudantes de medicina é cada vez maior e em sua maioria o acompanhamento médico influencia diretamente na melhoria dos sintomas. Além disso, existem fatores considerados de risco que podem levar a ansiedade e/ou a automedicação e uso indiscriminado de medicamentos, assim as medidas preventivas em saúde devem levar em conta estes fatores para guiar ações mais efetivas.
