A member asked:
What's the best medicine to reduce anxiety and panic attack? most drs don't wanna prescribe benzos because they fear you will become addicted. i just want to feel like a normal person?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most doctors will prefer selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) for anxiety/ panic disorder if pharmacology treatment is required. If you do not want medication, cognitive behavior therapy should be tried first. You should discuss with a psychiatrist or psychologist.
