Ever since she was mugged a month ago, mona experiences sudden high levels of anxiety when she leaves her apartment. what type of drug was most likely prescribed by mona's doctor to with anxiety in the short-term but that has problems if taken for a long time?

The correct answer is tranquilizer.

Explanation:

Tranquilizer is used to diminish fear, anxiety, agitation, tension, and the associated conditions of mental disturbances. Tranquilizers are differentiated into two prime categories, that is, minor and major. Tranquilizer is a depressant, which is generally recommended for a short time duration. Thus, in the given case, tranquilizer would have been recommended.  

However, if the drug is taken for a long-time duration it can result in chronic fatigue, depression, sexual issues, breathing issues, and sleep problems. With the increase in the dependency on the drug, cravings, panic, or anxiety are the general symptoms seen if the user is not able to get more.  

Withdrawal symptoms comprise weakness, insomnia, and nausea. For high-dose and spontaneous users, agitation, delirium, high body temperature, convulsions, and hallucinations can take place.
