Which med is best?

[greybantha1]

I have developed generalized anxiety disorder.  ONe day I was at work and everything was fine, the nest day I was in my living room thinking I was having a stroke and I haven't been the same since.  The neurologist said it was pressure releasing from a plane ride a few days before.  I was also on Topamax at the time.  I told the doctor I wanted to get off of it just in case it had something to do with this sudden pressure change aso he told me to start taking 25 every other day.  I did and started having major panic attacks, he then said I was withdrwing and needed to go backup to 50mg once a day.  I did and things got better for two days and then I started having fainting spells and sweats and anxiety.  Since then I have had every test done CT, MRI, MRA, blood work, everything ok.  I took me until July to wean off of the Topamax safely.  My GP says I may still have some GAD for some time, but it has now been six months and I am still having a hard time accepting that one day I was fine and the next a completely affected person.  I am at the point that in order to get back into enjoying life I may need to take some kind of med.  I have tried herbs, techniques, chirpractic, massage, therapy.  I don't think I'm depressed, only when the anxiety disruptts my life.  What is the safest and lowest dose of something that may help.  I am so med sensitive.
thanks to anyone who answers.  I want to go back to April 17th and get that person back.

If you are suffering from anxiety I would suggest klonopin.  It is usually a daily pill and it is for long term.  Xanax is good for short.
