A case regarding a young man (20s) with sudden onset of severe anxiety not related to phobias. He is sweating, panic attacks, racing heart...no history of drug abuse at all or prior history. He is woken up at night. Labs all normal. TSH normal!! The class argued forever on the possible treatment...(Buspirone, Benzodiazepine, or Beta Blockers).






Not certain of this one because all seem possible. I have to see the exact wording, but this is a toughie...

I'm thinking Buspirone b/c of the lower likeliness of addiction...in a situation like this, shouldn't we choose a drug with fewer side effects and decreased likelihood of addiction?
