Suggest Medication For Severe Anxiety

She has severe anxiety. Has taken trazodone in the past but the dosage either does not work or makes her feel too groggy in the morning. The doctor is suggesting Seroquel, but I am not comfortable with that drug for her r/t weight gain side effects. Any suggestions?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I think you should go with the advise of your psychiatrist. Mainly because, your psychiatrist is the person who knows better about the physical and mental condition of the patient. Before prescribing any medicines, a doctor takes many conditions into consideration. In this case, if the psychiatrist suggest Seroquel, I will request you to go with that suggestion. You may share your considerations with him. But work with him for perfect treatment and cure.

Good luck. Take care.
