How Can Severe Anxiety Be Treated?

Having severe anxiety. Looking for possible medications as not much else is working. Veteran, all kinds of family and financial stress over the last 4-6 years since I left the military. Basically would have to render myself disabled to attain VA medical. I m trying not to resort to heavy drinking or smoking as it is illegal in my state. No one to turn to for medical advice, no insurance so it s a difficult situation but do need relief. Become completely sober recently after years of partying

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

You are having anxiety disorder due to financial problem. Now you have to move on and find another suitable job for you.

You can be prescribed Alprazolam like benzodiazepine group for short term. Along with that SSRI group of the drug also can be prescribed.

Your behavioural counselling also need to be done. I suggest you consult a psychiatrist for counselling and get prescription accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
