There are different types of anxiety medicine, but the most common is the family of SSRI. But you need to address if you really have anxiety or if it could be related to a medical condition.
There are several medications that are used specially for generalized anxiety disorder. There is a potential of medication dependency with some of the medications. I recommend you discuss this issue with your PCP.
