Hello I've had anxiety progressively getting worse for 7 years and now is at its peak. I got diagnosed last year and I was put on sertraline and I'm currently at a dose of 200 mg a day. Two days ago my doctor said let's try something as I'm still crashing and having panic attacks. I'm currently taking .5 mg ativan every 3 to 4 hours and I feel amazing. I can focus I'm up and doing things I feel fantastic and not once did I feel the onset of a crash or any tingling sensations. And I slept oh my God I slept. That said how long is this sustainable? I know it can be addicting but thankfully addiction doesn't take hold of me no matter what it is. If the sertraline is working okay but the Ativan is completely knocking it out and making me normal what other medications out there that I could take long-term? Therapy is an option but it's mostly genetic which is been in the history of my family, first cousins and second cousins we all have anxiety. A mother and sisters also have clinical anxiety.  Thanks for reading
