Yes, but it's best to combine it with talk therapy.
There are many "anxiety pills" that relieve anxiety some better than others and always based on the number of hereditary receptors in every unique person based on biology on what brand of anxiety pill will work the best. The class of pills are called "Benzodiazapines." Some of the brand of medications which are used are: Klonopin, Buspar, Valium, Ativan, however, this list is not exhaustive. These are used many times as an "onsite" when anxiety happens type administration of the medication and are often used in conjunction with mood stabilizers, antidepressants and any other medication deemed helpful by your licensed mental health care provider. As always this is always monitored by a case managers, therapists, and doctors and any other licensed healthcare provider who are prescribing the medications. Hope this helps, as always.

Wishing you well,

Good Morning. There are several pills that will assist with the symptoms of anxiety, and there are also many mindset techniques that help anxiety without the use of pills.
There are many medications that can be used to manage anxiety and underlying conditions that cause anxiety.

To find the right one takes a qualified healthcare provider that listens, cares, and applies appropriate professional knowledge to line you up with the medication that's best for you. The best way to start is finding a healthcare provider you trust and make an appointment to discuss your anxiety.

The best approach is usually cognitive behavioral therapy with or without medication as needed. Finding a good medical provider and therapist combination gives you the highest chance of managing your anxiety successfully in the long run.

There is no one pill and treatment must also include therapy.
I am not a psychiatrist who prescribes psychiatric medication. However, I have seen clients greatly benefit from such drugs as Lexapro, Buspirone, and in certain cases Xanax. You can have a genetic test to find out the best medication for you and your DNA so you're not experimenting as much with what will work and not work.
Everyone is different and it will be best to talk with your doctor regarding the best anti-anxiety medication for your specific needs.
