Long-term treatment with buspirone (BuSpar) is the most appropriate treatment for clients diagnosed with GAD. Diazepam has a high potential for dependence and withdrawal symptoms, while citalopram and ziprasidone are not typically used as first-line treatments for GAD. BuSpar has been shown to have low potential for dependence and can provide long-term anxiety relief.
