klonopin

Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.

Benzodiazepines are frequently prescribed for anxiety disorders. They work by slowing down the central nervous system. Xanax and Klonopin are two popular benzodiazepines.
