You will need to consult your physician, consider your other medications and health history. I recommend also consulting a psychiatrist.
Dear Sir,
Sorry to hear that you are suffering from anxiety to the extent that you are considering medication. As I am a psychologist, I am not allowed to give advice on medicine. So, I would suggest contact your PCP or a psychiatrist in your area and ask for their help. In the meantime, you may want to find a licensed psychologist in your area and begin therapy with them to deal with what is causing your anxieties and how to deal with them. You may also want to read "Anxiety and Phobia Workbook" by Edmund J. Bourne. In case you are in FL, IN, or IL, contact me as I am licensed in all these three states.
Take care and remain safe.
