Many doctor prescribe benzos (ativan, zanax, klonopin, etc) but they can be a problem. Others prescribe Celexa or another SSRI.

A natural option is to try 5-HTP, starting at 50 mgs and slowly upping the dose to see if it helps. I take 100 mgs and get enough effect. I have not tried more. Some take up to 500 mgs a day but one needs to be careful. A common dose is 300 to 500 mgs split into two doses. Too much can cause serotonin syndrome that starts with sweating and other symptoms.

The symptoms of an SSRI or benzo can prevent many from taking them. 5-HTP is better anyway because your body makes it from L-Tryptophan and the brain knows how to use it.
