Panic attacks
I'm having GAD, panic attacks daily twice, taking escitalopram 10mg and clonazepam 0.25mg twice daily. I'm having body pain and fatigue even then. Would 2nd generation antipsychotics be helpful for the treatment or any other medicines SSRI/ SNRI? I have tried sertraline, paroxetene and that didn't work. I consulted doctor too but he gave me paroxetene again. Please help.

Hi
I appreciate that you reach out with your concern
With given information I can understand that since long, you are facing anxiety and taking treatment too but not getting relief
Sometimes anxiety happens due to personality issues hence pharmaco therapy won't work
According to my opinion you need to undergo psychometric assessment for personality
Next Steps
Consult experienced psychologist who does psychometric assessment

You need to provide some more information like the dosage of the medicine you have taken and how long you have taken that medicines because most of the times the problem of not getting a good response lies in not taking the proper dose and for proper duration.
Adding a second generation anti psychotic medicine sometimes helps

If the above mentioned medicines haven't helped you, maybe you need a change in treatment plan.
