Brief Answer:
zoloft is an alternative

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Tasigna and paxil together cause prolonged QT interval and should be avoided using simultaneously. In that case zoloft (sertraline) is an alternative to paxil. Klonopin can also be used initially if anxiety is severe and until zoloft reaches to its optimum effects.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
