I have been on sertraline for 5 years now and have been anxiety free for that same time. Life saver. I recently tested positive for covid-19 and it all came roaring back. I just got a script for Klonopin which I've had before and worked wonderful. I'm wondering if this will subside after the Covid is gone?

I have been on 40mg Paxil for 25 years. I got got Covid in Sept and anxiety and panic all came back. My doctor tried upping Paxil to 60mg max dose. Little relief. I then tried Ativan abd still not gone. So yesterday my doctor witching me to fluvoxamine with tapering off the Paxil slowly. Sure hope this helps.It has been 5 months of suffering.
