Docs! please help me chose the best anti-anxiety medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SSRI a common choice: Anxiety can stand alone or be part of other conditions. What form it takes & any additional symptoms that may determine the best treatment. In general for mild anxiety one of the psychotherapies such as CBT may be best while for those with panic or obsessional symptoms, an SSRI such as Prozac (fluoxetine) has been shown to be effective. Speak to your doctor and decide together which options are best for you
