A member asked:

Which is a better medication for anxiety disorder? metoprolol or clonazepam? please answer. thank you.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Apples & Oranges: Metoprolol is a beta blocker which will slow your heart rate and calm you down in an anxiety provoking situation. Clonazepam is a anti-anxiety medication but has some issues with habituation. It would be a "stronger" anti anxiety medicine, taken for limited periods of time generally. Metoprolol would be a safer choice but may not be "strong enough", depending on your anxiety.
