Anxiety disorder
I am a heart patient first diagnosed with CAD in 2000 hanging undergone single artery angioplasty at that time. Since last 5 to 6 years I have been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks. I was under treatment for over a year starting with Rivotril and switching long term (more than a year) to Cipralex and then tapering off. With this treatment I have been fine for over two years. Recently, I went through heart issues and underwent angioplasty for two arteries. Subsequently, my anxiety problem has returned and even went through a panic attack couple of days back. I am taking .25 mg Rivotril twice a day. But I think I need a longer term treatment. Please advice.
