depends on the exact nature.
Most commonly in the west in benzodiazapines such as alprazolam or clonazepam. (over here, we also still use barbiturates and meprobamate) Sometimes, they will also an anti depressant such as an SSRI or tricyclic to get to the route of the anxiety. Or an antiphysotic such as olazapine or prochlorperazine if your anxiety has bizarre qualities such as being anxious that major league baseball is trying to assassinate you.
One of the newer anti anxiety drugs is Buspirone.
I’ve also seen Beta blockers like Clonidine being used to help control anxiety as well, they work by blocking the effects of adrenaline.
All in all, its a complex disorder to manage and has many treatment options best chosen by one on one in person consult with a professional.
If so how did u overcome it, its ruining my life & I feel really stupid!
I have really bad ones. It affects how often I go out. I’ve tried realizing that I’m having one, and telling myself it’ll pass. I’ve taken deep breath, and I’ve done the box technique. I also always question if what I’m seeing is real. And this whole thing is affecting my life. I just want some help. Oh, and I always have these out of body experiences. Where I feel like I’m not myself. And it’s really bad. And very scary. What do I do?

what is anxiety attacks. lately ive been getting this feelings nervous dont know why.
some times i have really weird panic attacks about things like remembering to catch the bus the next day. i wanted to know if these are a result of something like stress or something more serios.
What are the drugs for anxiety attacks and how do they work? Are there any side effects and how long to do they last?
Im a fifteen year old guy and I get really bad panic attacks whenever people talk about drugs or HIV/AIDS. It always happens in classrooms and on Monday, I actually fainted.
Its the embarrassment that’s the worst part.
I cant even reason with myself during it at all and its making my life hell.
Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening ?
Buspar is often used to treat anxiety attacks. It works by reducing the amount of serotonin (a neurotransmitter) in the brain. But be careful. Some doctors will prescribe Buspar AND an antidepressant. Most of the newer antidepressant work to INCREASE serotonin levels. Conflicting medications like this can cause some serious side effects.
