Treatment plan : You stated that you "feel horrible with them" - does that mean you have severe side effects? Please let your prescribing doctor know how you are doing. The SSRI is a standard medication that is used for treatment of anxiety. Sedoxil (Mexaxolan) is a type of benzodiazapine that might be better suited for shorter term use. We can't tell you whether you should or should not take them. Talk to Dr.
