  27. Acute treatment • Consider an SSRI for first-line pharmacological treatment • SNRIs and pregabalin may be considered as alternative initial treatments if SSRIs are judged to be unsuitable • Remember that higher daily doses of pregabalin may be associated with greater response rates Baldwin, David S., et al. "Evidence-based pharmacological treatment of anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder."Journal of Psychopharmacology 28.5 (2014): 403-439.

  28. Acute treatment Assess efficacy for up to 12 weeks 4 weeks No benefit: response unlikely Baldwin, David S., et al.
