Hi, good morning!
Thank you for your question.
Benzodiazepine group of medications such as Alprazolam, Clonazepam, Lorazepam or Diazepam work very quickly within few hours to bring anxiety down initially. Other medications, non-benzodiazepine groups such as Diphenhydramine or Hydroxyzine also work quicker for anxiety. FDA (Food & Drug Association) approved meds for anxiety disorders such as Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline, citalopram or escitalopram work better for long-term effect, but it takes 3-4 few weeks to see response. Usually doctors start medications which work faster to reduce anxiety if it is very serious and making life dysfunctional and add FDA approved medications for long-term effects.
