What Is The Treatment For Social Phobia And Anxiety ?

My daughter used to take 25mg of seroquel for anxiety, effectively, as a teenager. she was diagnosed with social phobia after being a victim of a sex crime at a age seven. her anxiety has now manifested with panic attacks when the prospect of driving a vehicle presents itself. ( She married and moved to Alabama from Utah and I have no idea how she did it but got her drivers license last spring) do you think seroquel would be an effective drug for this anxiety as well, in addition to psychotherapy?

Dear User,

Thanks for using health care magic.

There is possibility that seroquel may work for her as she responded with this drug in past.
Having said this it is always better to see a professional before giving any medication as the profile of current problem is quite different in compare to past. Other than seroquel more safer alternatives available currently and I think they should be tried first before moving to anti psychotic class of medicne.
