Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection. It is difficult to answer your question as each person reacts differently to medication. Unfortunately, many times it is a matter of trial and error to determine the correct medication and dosage for you.
I wish I could tell you that one medication was the best, but that is just not the case. Let me know how you make out and what you choose to do.

Sorry, but you are sorta handcuffed per say to the anxiety.:( For me Lexapro 20mg once a day, and valium, inderal work well together. Hope this helps some.
