Initiate Treatment with Benzodiazepine

 

If prompt relief is needed, administration of benzodiazepines is recommended. Longer half-life medications (e.g., clonazepam and lorazepam [Ativan]) provide more continuous control of anxiety symptoms and thus are more desirable in terms of preventing anxiety symptoms (e.g., PD, GAD, PTSD). Shorter half-life medications (e.g., alprazolam) are more helpful for situational anxiety (e.g., acute panic attack, social phobia, specific phobias).
