Your doctor is the only one who should make such a recommendation, and this should happen AFTER she asks you a series of questions about your emotional state and physical health.Seeking a prescription based on what you've Googled or seen in a commercial is not the way to go.Report the symptons, and ask what can be prescribed.

The stuff Cheech and Chong used works pretty good....On a serious note, just ask your doctor what works the fastest, and what the side effects might be if any. The two of you can then make an educated decision on what to try.Good luck.

Xanax is good but it can also be addictive.

I'm not a doctor, asking people on Yahoo isn't the smartest either. HOWEVER, at one time I suffered from panic attacks and was prescribed Xanax. It worked.

are you sure it is anxiety and not a form of depression? I used to get depressed because I was anxious and finally my doctor figured out that I have Bi-Polar disorder. Just make sure that the doctor knows all your symptoms and you get a full checkup.I take buspar and it works well for me. A couple weeks and it worked for me.

Xanax, Klonopin, and Ativan work pretty quickly. For some reason, doctors are hesitant to prescribe antianxiety medications. Probably because they are addicting and also because it's just covering over the problem not taking care of it. There are ways you can learn to cope with the anxiety. They may give you something to tide you over. They may also give you a prescription for antidepressants that work for anxiety too. Those do take a long time to be effective. It depends on your doctor. My family doctor wouldn't prescribe me any antianxiety meds but my psychiatrist did.
