A major complaint my wife has with Parkinson's is anxiety. Two meds were prescribed: Sertraline 100 mg and Trazadone 50 mg. Neither seem effective. Do others have a similar complaint and how do they deal with it?

My husband with Parkinson's also has anxiety associated with off periods and dystonia. He is on sertraline and trazadone also. But when he has a full-fledged panic attack, if an extra dose of Sinemet doesn't work and I can't talk him through it, the only thing we've found that works is Ativan. It's not a drug to be given lightly, but it does work for him on an emergency basis. But it's not a good solution for day to day anxiety.
