Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.
In case of anxiety disorder, you need both antidepressant and benzodiazepine. If you have continuous attacks and these attacks have been increasing, then you should take an antidepressant like paroxetine. If you have occasional anxiety attacks, then you can take clonazepam 0.5 mg on sos basis. You can also consult your psychiatrist for proper management plan.
In case, you need further help, you can ask.
