welcome to HCM!
If your diagnosis is just anxiety disorder and not bipolar disorder, then oxecarbazepien will be best avoided. there is many milder and better molecules which can help you and will not require many dosage level monitoring ( like oxecarbazepien).
You may go for vanlafaxine or paroxetine, or combination with quiteapine. these all are good in handling anxeity and panic attacks. your doctor will know about them.
Hope this helps you
