See answer: SSRI's like Lexapro are good medications for generalized anxiety and panic disorder.You may need a higher dose or a different SSRI type medication. Some physicians are afraid to prescribe benzodiazepine tranquilizers like Xanax (alprazolam) because they can be addictive or subject to abuse. Other physicians will prescribe them.

Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as anxiety or depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.
