My doctor prescribed 5 mg of zolfresh, but I have anxiety. Could you help suggest some medication?

Zolfresh helps sleep but does not treat anxiety, so your doctor may consider adding a safer long-term option like escitalopram or sertraline, and sometimes buspirone for anxiety control instead of increasing sleeping pills.
