Dear Nandlal,
Both are good. Such combination studies are not done usually. So, you can use whichever combination works for you. But at the age of 64, it is better to use etizolam.

Not at all, I am sure the person who prescribed these is not a psychiatrist. Etizolam is used for short term control or supplement for treatment of anxiety, not primary medication. Ssri or snri are generally given which act on the cause of the anxiety. Good luck.

It is very low dose so withdrawal may not be needed, but the medicine needs 2 to 4 weeks to act. It is a psychiatrist medication, I believe your doctor is a psychiatrist. Good luck.
