Benzo's I get, they basically sedate you.


This list on drugs dot com has zoloft/sertraline being the most used drug to treat panic.

An SSRI, I mean, how does that manage panic?

I guess panic and anxiety/depression go hand in hand? (if you're anxious, on edge, which typically happens when one is depression, panic may be more forthcoming).

What makes sertraline so advocated for what it comes to managing the "panic" subclassification of anxiety/depression?

Perhaps it's just a "clean" SSRI?

I've been on most SSRI and SNRI's and, despite all have high serotonin pump affinities, there's is unmistakable differences in all, despite their similar pharmacology.

Any thoughts on what makes sertaline so heavily prescribed in panic and impulsivity, where other S/NRI's are not?
