SSRI for anxiety for COPD ?

Hi Carol, and thanks for your post and inquiry.
You may be aware we cannot provide medical advice or diagnostics over the internet (for your own safety), but I do have something to contribute. After all, your question certainly warrants a reply.
While folks may have their own personal opinions about which class of medication is better to treat anxiety, those will be anecdotal experiences should they decide to weigh in with their own comment.
The best medical professional for you to direct your concern to will be your prescribing physician. The doctor will know your medical condition best and, will be able to discuss the choices with you based on your particular level of disease anxiety. Together, you will be able to collaborate towards the selection of the best medication for you.
What do you think?
