Anxiety Medical Treatment at PremierMD

Understanding Anxiety

Persistent, excessive worry that interferes with daily life—and is highly treatable.

More Than Stress

Anxiety is persistent, excessive worry that interferes with work, relationships, sleep, and activities you used to enjoy.

Common Symptoms

Racing thoughts, muscle tension, difficulty concentrating, rapid heartbeat, fatigue, irritability, and avoidance of triggering situations.

You're Not Alone

Anxiety disorders affect nearly 40 million adults in the U.S.—the most common mental-health condition—and they are highly treatable.

Comprehensive Care

At PremierMD we take time to understand your triggers and tailor medication, therapy referrals, and lifestyle strategies to your needs.

How We Treat Anxiety at PremierMD

Anxiety is different for everyone, so we do not use a one-size-fits-all approach. During your 30 to 60 minute appointment, we take time to understand your specific symptoms, triggers, and goals. Then we create a personalized treatment plan that may include:

Medication Management

We prescribe anti-anxiety medications when appropriate—SSRIs, SNRIs, buspirone, or short-term options for acute anxiety. We explain how each medication works, monitor your progress closely, and adjust as needed. No rushing through appointments wondering if your treatment is working.

Medical Acupuncture

Dr. Boguslavsky is board-certified in medical acupuncture, which has been proven to reduce anxiety by calming the nervous system and lowering stress hormones. Many patients find acupuncture deeply relaxing and helpful for both anxiety and physical tension. Most insurance plans cover it.

Lifestyle and Stress Management

We work with you on practical strategies—sleep hygiene, nutrition changes that stabilize mood, exercise routines, breathing techniques, and identifying patterns that worsen your anxiety. These are not vague suggestions. We create specific, actionable plans.

Medical Cannabis Evaluation

For some patients, state-authorized integrative options provide anxiety relief when other treatments have not worked. We evaluate whether you qualify and guide you through the appropriate NJ state program.

Therapy Coordination

While we do not provide talk therapy in-office, we coordinate closely with therapists and can refer you to excellent counselors who specialize in anxiety, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), or other evidence-based approaches.

We combine traditional medicine with complementary approaches because we have seen that integrated care works better than medication alone. You get the full picture—not just a prescription pad.

Frequently Asked Questions About Anxiety Treatment

Common questions about medication, treatment timelines, and our approach

It varies. Some patients notice improvement within a few weeks of starting treatment. Medication typically takes 4 to 6 weeks to reach full effectiveness, though some people feel relief sooner. Acupuncture often provides calming effects during the session itself. We monitor your progress closely and adjust treatment as needed.

Not necessarily. Many patients use medication for 6 to 12 months while also working on lifestyle changes, therapy, or other approaches. Once you feel stable, we can discuss gradually reducing medication. Some people stay on medication long-term because it works well for them. The choice is yours—we support whatever decision makes sense for your life.

Call us immediately. We monitor you closely, especially in the first few weeks. Some side effects are temporary and improve, but if something does not feel right, we will adjust your dose or switch medications. You have Dr. Boguslavsky's personal cell phone number for urgent concerns—we do not make you wait days to get help.

Yes. Research shows that medical acupuncture reduces anxiety by calming the nervous system and lowering stress hormones like cortisol. Many of our patients find it deeply relaxing and notice reduced physical tension and better sleep. Dr. Boguslavsky is board-certified in medical acupuncture, and most insurance plans cover it. Learn more about acupuncture for anxiety.

We prescribe benzodiazepines like Xanax or Klonopin cautiously and typically for short-term use in specific situations—such as acute panic attacks or while waiting for an SSRI to take effect. For long-term anxiety management, we prefer medications with less risk of dependence. We will discuss all options with you and explain why we recommend what we do.

Bring your insurance card, a list of current medications (if any), and any relevant medical records. It helps to write down your symptoms—when they started, what makes them better or worse, and how they affect your daily life. We want to understand your complete picture.
