Agoraphobia Medication Profile: Paxil This article tells you what you need to know about Paxil if you are considering taking it for agoraphobia, anxiety, or panic attacks. Why Take Antidepressants for Anxiety? Antidepressants are fast becoming a first line treatment for agoraphobia and other anxiety disorders. This article explains why. Beta-Blockers for Agoraphobia Beta-blockers, including Inderal and Tenormin, are primarily used for hypertension but are sometimes prescribed to reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety (shaking, trembling, rapid heart rate, and blushing). When used to treat phobias, beta-blockers are best used to treat specific phobias because they counteract the physical symptoms of the fear. Buspar for Agoraphobia A drug called Buspar has been used to treat agoraphobia and is in a class by itself. It is an anti-anxiety medication but is not a benzodiazepine. It also does not create the same tolerance or cause the same withdrawal symptoms as benzodiazepines.
