Online anxiety treatment on your schedule

Several medications are commonly used to treat anxiety, and the right choice depends on your specific symptoms, health history, and how your body responds to treatment. SSRIs such as sertraline, escitalopram, and paroxetine are typically prescribed first, as they are well-tolerated and effective for generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder. SNRIs like duloxetine and venlafaxine ER are also widely used, particularly when anxiety has a physical component such as muscle tension or fatigue. A QuickMD doctor will review your situation and recommend the medication that’s appropriate for you.

QuickMD doctors follow the same standard of care as in-person providers, reviewing your symptoms, medical history, and current medications before recommending treatment.
