In reply to What are the options for anxiety/panic disorder?, posted by Vince on September 6, 2001, at 15:24:15
Vince - The SSRIs (Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft) and Effexor have a good track record for anxiety/panic disorders. Slightly higher doses of these medications are used in anxiety and panic, than are normally used in depression.
These drugs can, and probably will, make the anxiety worse and the panic attacks more frequent for the first couple weeks. But after your body adjusts to the medication, the incidence of both should decrease drastically.
I hope that this is of some help. - Cam
