A member asked:
Which is the most effective medication for anxiety / panic attacks which can be taken on a daily basis for a long period of time? i don't want xanax (alprazolam).
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Options: I would discuss your options with your prescribing provider. I normally start out with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibtor. I often augment this with a mild anxiolytic like buspar (buspirone). Take care.
