Hello  Prestiq is venlafexine and belongs to SNRI group. Zoloft is sertaline and it belongs to SSRI group. Both are nice drugs for anxiety disorder and depression. Over all venlafexine is mainly used in depressive disorders but its effects in panic is also good. But as per my clinical experience sertaline is better in controlling the symptoms of panic disorder and is also safer drug. Rest visit a psychiatrist for expert opinion. Thanks Dr. Seikhoo Bishnoi
