[…] If response to a medication is inadequate, dosing should be optimized and compliance assessed before switching to another agent. […] In patients who have inadequate response to optimal dosages of a first line agent or in whom the agent is not tolerated, switch to another first-line agent. […] While benzodiazepines are a second-line treatment, they may be used at any time if there is an acute and severe exacerbation of agitation or anxiety in individuals with SAD who do not have co-morbid alcohol or substance abuse.
